About this world

Kepler-1795 b is a super-Earth orbiting Kepler-1795, an orange dwarf. It is about 1.7 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 13.4 days at 0.1 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 520 K (247 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. By the "cosmic shoreline", its star has probably stripped its atmosphere away, leaving bare rock.

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