Habitability Assessment
✓ Classified as a Temperate Habitable Zone Candidate.
With an estimated equilibrium temperature of 304 K (+31°C / +88°F) and a radius of 1.870 R⊕, Kepler-1638 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.
