Habitability Assessment
✓ Classified as a Temperate Habitable Zone Candidate.
With an estimated equilibrium temperature of 300 K (+27°C / +81°F) and a radius of 2.080 R⊕, Kepler-1040 b falls within the conservative empirical boundary where a solid rocky surface could sustain liquid surface water under suitable atmospheric greenhouse conditions.
Discovery Facility: Kepler.
