Kepler-420 Ab
Kepler-420 Ab
Kepler-420 Ab is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-420 A, located about 2935.4 light-years (900.0 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2014.
The host star Kepler-420 A has apparent magnitude of 13.2, with absolute magnitude of 3.5. It is 1.0 times more massive and 1.1 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 5520 with its spectral types of G5 V
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet Kepler-420 Ab orbits around the star Kepler-420 A every 86.6 days with its orbital distance of 0.38 AU ( 57146386.6 km)
