Confirmed exoplanet · Database record + computed analysis
Kepler-297 d
A confirmed world orbiting Kepler-297, 2,257.5 light-years away.
A gas giant
32.60 Earth radii, Jupiter-class (Jupiter is 11.2).
The orbit
Its year takes 150 Earth days (0.4 Earth years).
Temperature and starlight
Its equilibrium temperature (the airless-world estimate) is about 52 °C. It receives 2.6 times the starlight Earth gets.
Its sun
Its star is Sun-like (5,618 K; the Sun is 5,772 K). It shares the system with 2 other known planets.
How far is that, really?
At 2,257 light-years, tonight's light from this system left it around the year -231. A Voyager-speed probe would need roughly 39,940,297 years to get there.
How we found it
It was found by the transit method: the planet crosses its star's face on schedule, dimming it by a tiny, repeating fraction. The dip's depth gives the planet's size. The discovery was announced in 2023 from Kepler.
Everything above is computed from the archive’s measured values for this planet. Where a quantity is missing, the statement is omitted rather than guessed.
About this record
The measured values come from the NASA Exoplanet Archive, and any missing value has not been determined yet; the Atlas never fills gaps with guesses. More standout worlds: Proxima b, TRAPPIST-1e, K2-18 b, 55 Cancri e, and the detection methods that found them all.
