Kepler-278 b
Kepler-278 b
Kepler-278 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-278, located about 1376.2 light-years (421.9 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2014.
The host star Kepler-278 has apparent magnitude of 10.0, with absolute magnitude of 1.9.
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet Kepler-278 b orbits around the star Kepler-278 every 30.2 days with its orbital distance of 0.21 AU ( 30966759.2 km)
(Projected orbit of Kepler-278 b around its host star Kepler-278)
