About this world
Kepler-976 b is a sub-Neptune orbiting Kepler-976, a yellow, Sun-like star 3.3 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 4 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 106 days at 0.42 AU from its star.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 324 K (51 °C): too cold 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.
