About this world

Kepler-369 c is a super-Earth orbiting Kepler-369, a cool red dwarf 698 light-years from Earth. It is about 1.4 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 14.9 days at 0.094 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 391 K (118 °C): too cold 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 2014 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. Kepler-369 has 2 known planets; the others are Kepler-369 b.
