Kepler-452 is a G-type main-sequence star located about 1,810 light-years away from Earth[1] in the Cygnus constellation.[5] Although similar in temperature to the Sun, it is 20% brighter, 3.7% more massive and 11% larger.[6][7] Alongside this, the star is approximately six billion years old and possesses a high metallicity.[3]
