K2-21 b
K2-21 b
K2-21 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star K2-21, located about 272.6 light-years (83.6 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2015.
The host star K2-21 has apparent magnitude of 12.8, with absolute magnitude of 8.2. It is 0.7 times more massive and 0.7 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 4222 with its spectral types of M0.0
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet K2-21 b orbits around the star K2-21 every 9.0 days with its orbital distance of 0.08 AU ( 11369438.2 km)
