Rocky world

Kepler-327 c

Kepler-327 c is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 789 ly from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, discovered in 2014 by Kepler.

ESI 0.25789 lyDiscovered in 2014 by Kepler

Transit: spotted by the tiny, repeating dip in its star’s light each time the planet crosses in front of it (what that means).

Its orange dwarf looks 10.5× wider than ours, bathing the surface in deep orange light. It is likely tidally locked, so that sun never moves in the sky: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night. A year passes in just 5.2 days, and at an estimated 264°C (507°F) it is blistering.

Catalog values (NASA Exoplanet Archive): mass 20.30 M⊕, radius 1.03 R⊕. Its catalog mass and radius imply a density of 102.4 g/cm³, denser than compressed iron, so they cannot both be right, and gravityfinder does not use Kepler-327 c in gravity rankings or weight calculations.

Your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 264°C (507°F), sound would travel roughly 37% faster than on Earth, so your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

★★★☆☆
For seasoned travelers
  • !Blistering at about 264°C (507°F), far too hot for liquid water on the surface.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.

Common questions

How far is Kepler-327 c from Earth?

Kepler-327 c lies about 789 light-years from Earth.

How long would it take to get to Kepler-327 c?

At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 1.2 million years.

How hot is Kepler-327 c?

Kepler-327 c's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about 264°C (507°F).

How long is a year on Kepler-327 c?

Kepler-327 c completes one orbit of its star in 5.2 days.
