About this world

Kepler-1737 b is a Neptune-like planet orbiting Kepler-1737, an orange dwarf. It is about 5.4 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 64.6 days at 0.3 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 383 K (110 °C): too cold for liquid water on its surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.

It was discovered in 2021 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction.
