# Kepler-160 c

Kepler-160 c is a Neptune-like [planet](https://spacecatalog.org/planets) in the constellation [Lyra](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/lyra), 3056 ly from Earth. It orbits Kepler-160 at a mean distance of 0.1192 AU. It has an estimated mass of 13.60 M⊕ and a radius of 3.76 R⊕ · 23 982 km. The mass is an estimate from the radius rather than a measurement. It was discovered in 2014.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Neptune-like planet
- **HOW FAR:** 3056 ly — The light arriving now left it that long ago.
- **HOW BIG:** 3.76 R⊕ · 23 982 km — Its radius: half the width across.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Lyra](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/lyra) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.
- **ONE ORBIT TAKES:** 13.7 days — One trip round Kepler-160.

## Catalogue data

### WHAT KIND OF THING IT IS

What the object is in itself, rather than how it happens to look from here.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Equilibrium temperature | 771 K |
| Host star temperature | 5471 +115 / −37 K |
| Host star mass | 1.003 +0.036 / −0.034 M☉ |
| Host star radius | 1.118 +0.015 / −0.045 R☉ |

### HOW BRIGHT IT IS

What the light adds up to, measured through one filter at a time. A magnitude is a brightness on a backwards scale — the smaller the number, the brighter the object.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Host star apparent magnitude (V) | 14.82 |

### THE ORBIT

The shape of the path, where the object sits on it, and the instant those figures were true of. An orbit is a fit to observations and drifts away from the real one either side of its epoch.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Host star | Kepler-160 |
| Orbital period | 13.699429 days ±1.8×10⁻⁵ |
| Eccentricity | 0 |
| Inclination | 89.93° |
| Transit midpoint | 2455004.4805 BJD |
| Stars in system | 1 |
| Planets in system | 3 |

### WHEN IT WAS FOUND

Who first saw it, from where, and by what method.
