About this world
Kepler-2000 c is a super-Earth orbiting Kepler-2000, a cool red dwarf 1.05 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 1.6 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 20.6 days at 0.12 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 359 K (86 °C): too cold for liquid water on its surface. By the "cosmic shoreline", it has likely held on to an atmosphere.
It was discovered in 2023 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. Kepler-2000 has 2 known planets; the others are Kepler-2000 b.
