# Kepler-712 c

Kepler-712 c is a Neptune-like [planet](https://spacecatalog.org/planets) in the constellation [Cygnus](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/cygnus), 2846 ly from Earth. It orbits Kepler-712 at a mean distance of 0.66479 AU. It has an estimated mass of 21.00 M⊕ and a radius of 4.85 R⊕ · 30 934 km. The mass is an estimate from the radius rather than a measurement. It was discovered in 2016.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Neptune-like planet
- **HOW FAR:** 2846 ly — The light arriving now left it that long ago.
- **HOW BIG:** 4.85 R⊕ · 30 934 km — Its radius: half the width across.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Cygnus](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/cygnus) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.
- **ONE ORBIT TAKES:** 227 days — One trip round Kepler-712.

## 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 | 236 K |
| Host star temperature | 5148 +83 / −78 K |
| Host star mass | 0.84 +0.031 / −0.036 M☉ |
| Host star radius | 0.78 +0.022 / −0.023 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) | 16.16 |

### 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-712 |
| Orbital period | 226.89047 days ±0.0011 |
| Eccentricity | 0 |
| Inclination | 89.76° |
| Transit midpoint | 2455040.3603 BJD |
| Stars in system | 1 |
| Planets in system | 2 |

### WHEN IT WAS FOUND

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

| Field | Value |
