About this world
Kepler-953 b is a Neptune-like planet orbiting Kepler-953, a yellow, Sun-like star 844 light-years from Earth. It is about 4.2 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 88.4 days at 0.39 AU from its star.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 410 K (137 °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 2016 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. Kepler-953 has 2 known planets; the others are Kepler-953 c.
