Kepler-35

Planetary system · 5933.3 light-years away

Kepler-35 is 5,933 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this 5,606 K star; the first was found in 2011 by transit (Kepler).

Worth knowing

Kepler-35 b takes 131.5 days to go round its star once.

Kepler-35 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only Kepler-35 and its planets are drawn.

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.

The planets, compared

For a star of 5,606 K, 0.94 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.93 to 1.65 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.

The light you see left 5,933 years ago, around 3900 BC.
