Kepler 174 Star Facts (Age, Location, Exoplanets and more)
Kepler 174star is located in the constellation of Lyra, The Lyra . It is not part of the Lyra constellation outline but is within the borders of the constellation.
Exoplanet(s)
There are 3 exoplanets that have been discovered or have been speculated (inc. candidates, controversial, retracted & others) to exist orbiting this star.
Location
The location of the Kepler 174 in the night sky is determined by the right ascension (R.A.) and declination (Dec.). These are equivalent to the Longitude and Latitude on Earth. The Right Ascension (Longitude) is expressed in time (hh:mm:ss) and is how far the star is along Earth's celestial equator. If the R.A. is positive, then it's eastwards and vice versa.
The Declination (Latitude) is how far north or south the object is compared to the celestial equator and is expressed in degrees. If the value is positive, it is north of the celestial equator. For Kepler 174, the location is 19h 09m 45.41 and 43° 49` 55.53 .
Based on the location of Lyra, Kepler 174 can be located in the northern hemisphere of the celestial sky. The celestial hemisphere is equivalent to the hemispheres on Earth. Kepler 174 is north of the Ecliptic. The Ecliptic is the path that the Earth takes as it orbits the Sun. As the Earth is titled, we therefore have Celestial and Ecliptic hemispheres and they can be different for a star.
Physical Properties
Spectral Type
There is no relationship between colour and size. For example, a red star can be large or small. Small stars are more energy efficient than larger stars and live longer.
Kepler 174 Size (Radius)
Kepler 174 radius has been calculated as being 0.62 times bigger than the Sun. The Sun's radius is 695,800km, therefore, the Kepler 174 radius is an estimated 431,396.km. If you need the star's diameter, you just need to multiply the radius by 2.
