About this world

Kepler-132 e is an Earth-sized planet orbiting Kepler-132, a yellow-white F-type star 1.14 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 1.2 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 110 days at 0.44 AU from its star.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 414 K (141 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. By the "cosmic shoreline", it has likely held on to an atmosphere.

It was discovered in 2016 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. Kepler-132 has 4 known planets; the others are Kepler-132 b, Kepler-132 c and Kepler-132 d.
