Kepler-1750 b
Kepler-1750 b is a cold gas giant orbiting Kepler-1750 in the constellation Cygnus. It lies about 4,884 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2021 using the transit method.
How Big Is Kepler-1750 b?
Kepler-1750 b has a radius of 6.00 times that of Earth, or 0.54 times the radius of Jupiter.
Is Kepler-1750 b in the Habitable Zone?
The position of Kepler-1750 b relative to the habitable zone of Kepler-1750 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Habitable zone of Kepler-1750: 0.699–1.654 AU (conservative: 0.886–1.568 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length
A year on Kepler-1750 b — one full orbit around Kepler-1750 — lasts 205.9 Earth days, between the years of Mercury (88 days) and Earth (365 days).
How Was Kepler-1750 b Discovered?
Kepler-1750 b was discovered in 2021 using the transit method, with observations from Kepler.
The transit method watches a star for the tiny, regular dip in brightness that occurs when a planet crosses in front of it. The depth and timing of these dips reveal the planet's size and orbital period.
How Far Away Is Kepler-1750 b?
Kepler-1750 b is 4,883.6 light-years (1,497.3 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet about 4,884 years ago. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 85,951,360 years to make the journey.
Earth Similarity Index
The Earth Similarity Index (ESI) scores how physically similar a planet is to Earth, from 0 to 1, based on radius, density, escape velocity and surface temperature. Kepler-1750 b scores 0.41, ranking #434 of 5,568 planets with a known ESI. For reference, Mars scores about 0.70.
