Kepler-438 b
Kepler-438 b
Kepler-438 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-438, located about 462.5 light-years (141.8 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2015.
The host star Kepler-438 has apparent magnitude of 15.0, with absolute magnitude of 9.2. It is 0.5 times more massive and 0.5 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 3749 with its spectral types of M1
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet Kepler-438 b orbits around the star Kepler-438 every 35.2 days with its orbital distance of 0.17 AU ( 24833246.5 km)
(Projected orbit of Kepler-438 b around its host star Kepler-438)
