Kepler-12 b
Kepler-12 b
Kepler-12 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-12, located about 2872.9 light-years (880.8 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2011.
The host star Kepler-12 has apparent magnitude of 13.4, with absolute magnitude of 3.7. It is 1.2 times more massive and 1.5 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 5926 with its spectral types of G0
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet Kepler-12 b orbits around the star Kepler-12 every 4.4 days with its orbital distance of 0.06 AU ( 8272762.2 km)
(Projected orbit of Kepler-12 b around its host star Kepler-12)
The Star Kepler-12 's habitable zone is located at the following distance
