Kepler-37 is a star 215.2 light years away in the constellation Lyra. It is host to the exoplanets Kepler-37b, Kepler-37c and Kepler-37d. they all orbit very close to the star It has a mass of about 0.803 percent the sun's, and a radius of about 0.770. It is roughly 6 million years old.

Planetary system

Kepler-37b is the smallest known exoplanet as of February 2013. At 3865 kilometers in diameter it is barely larger than Earths moon. It orbits Kepler-37 once every 13 days and is too small and too close to its star to maintain an atmosphere.

Kepler-37c is similar in size to Venus.

Kepler-37d is about three times the size of Earth. it has an orbital period of 39.792187 days.
