Kepler-283 c is an exoplanet orbiting the K-type star Kepler-283 every 93 days in the circumstellar habitable zone, discovered by the Kepler space telescope in 2014.[4]

Characteristics

[edit]

Mass, radius and temperature

[edit]

It has a surface equilibrium temperature of 238.5 K (−34.6 °C; −30.4 °F).[3] Its radius is 1.82 R🜨. Its orbit is circular with an eccentricity of 0.

Host star

[edit]

The planet orbits a late orange dwarf star called Kepler-283, spectral type K7V, about 1,596 light years from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus.[5]

Orbit

[edit]

The planet orbits its star every 93 days, at a distance of around 0.336 AU.
