Kepler-1649b

Kepler-1649b is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star Kepler-1649, discovered in 2017. It is similar to Venus, but in the past it was thought to be a candidate for habitability.

Host star

Kepler-1649 is a type-M red dwarf star estimated to be roughly ¼ the radius of the Sun with only two confirmed planets in its orbit, the other being Kepler-1649c. Kepler-1649c is similar to Earth from our own solar system in two ways: both Kepler-1649c and Earth have orbits roughly twice the radius of the previous known planets, and they are of similar size.

Orbit

Kepler-1649b takes only 8.6 Earth days to orbit Kepler-1649.
