Kepler-136 is 1,373 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this 6,165 K star; the first was found in 2014 by transit (Kepler).
Fly there in 3DKepler-136 b goes round its star every 11.6 days, 8 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
Kepler-136 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only Kepler-136 and its planets are drawn.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kepler-136 b | 11.6 days | 0.106 AU | 2.05 R⊕ | 19.8 M⊕ | Transit, 2014 |

Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.
For a star of 6,165 K, 2.9 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 1.59 to 2.78 AU. None of its known planets orbits inside it. The zone says how much starlight arrives, not whether a planet has water or air. The edges follow Kopparapu et al. (2014), as the 3D view draws them.
