K2-415b


K2-415b is an Earth-sized exoplanet located 72 light-years from Earth orbiting the red dwarf star K2-415.

Background

The planet was found using data from the NASA Kepler Space Telescope, K2, and the Transiting Exoplanet [Survey Satellite]. K2-415b was discovered in February 2023.
K2-415b is approximately 1.015 times the radius of Earth and is less than 7.5 times the mass of Earth. It does not orbit its star within its proposed Circumstellar [habitable zone|habitable zone] and orbits at a distance of around 0.027 AU and completes one orbit around its star every 4.018 days; because of this, the average surface temperature of K2-415b is estimated to be.
