Kepler-284 is 3,366 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this 5,615 K star; the first was found in 2014 by transit (Kepler).
Fly there in 3DKepler-284 b goes round its star every 12.7 days, 7 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kepler-284 b | 12.7 days | 0.104 AU | 2.24 R⊕ | 5.65 M⊕ estimated | 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 5,615 K, 0.46 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.65 to 1.15 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.
