About this world

Kepler-1760 b is a sub-Neptune orbiting Kepler-1760, a yellow, Sun-like star. It is about 2.3 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 38.3 days at 0.21 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 480 K (207 °C): far too hot 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.
