Kepler-1649 b
Planet· orbits the Sun
Kepler-1649 b — the inner planet, an Earth-size world (1.02 R⊕) on a hot 9-day orbit, roughly Venus-like in the light it receives. Size measured; mass size-estimated, so no density is quoted. Never imaged.

Composition
- Surface appearance
- Appearance based on NASA/JPL-Caltech's artist's concept. No spacecraft has imaged this world, so its real appearance is unknown — The surface shown is an artistic representation, shown only in Vision mode; Realism shows a plain spectral colour.

- Insolation
- 2.02 S⊕ · 2.02× the sunlight Earth receives
Discovery & history
- Method
- Transit detection
- Name
- Designated 'b' under the IAU convention that letters a star's planets 'b', 'c', 'd'... in the order found (the star is the unwritten 'a'); no IAU proper name has been assigned.
The inner of Kepler-1649's two Earth-size planets.
Images
No telescope has imaged this world — it is known only from the tiny dip it makes crossing its star. Only its host system has been pictured (see the system view); its true surface appearance is unknown.
