    Characteristics



    Mass, radius and temperature


    Kepler-443b has a mass of 6.04 Earth masses,[3] a radius of 2.33 Earth radii[2] and a temperature of 247 kelvin.[2]


    Host star


    Kepler-443b orbits a K-type star called Kepler-443, 2541 light-years away.[2]


    Orbit


    Kepler-443b takes 177.6693 days to orbit its star, with an inclination of 89.94°, a semimajor axis of 0.495 AU and an eccentricity of at least 0.11.[2]


    Habitability


    Kepler-443b may be habitable, but the planet has only a 4.9 percent chance of being rocky.[1] The planet is much more likely to be a water world or a Mini-Neptune.

    Kepler-443b es un exoplaneta situado a unos 2540,8 años luz de la Tierra.[1] Fue descubierto en 2015 por el Telescopio Espacial Kepler, tras registrar varios tránsitos frente a su estrella.[2] Por sus características, Kepler-443b probablemente es un «mesoplaneta» de tipo minineptuno.[3][1]
