Kepler-12 is an early G-type to late F-type star with a transiting planet Kepler-12b in a 4-day orbit. The star lies within the constellation Draco and is located approximately away from Earth.
==Characteristics== Kepler-12, known also as KIC 11804465 in the Kepler Input Catalog, is an early G-type to late F-type star, about 4 billion years old. This corresponds strongly with a sunlike dwarf star nearing the end of the main sequence, which is about to become a red giant. Kepler-12 is located approximately away from Earth. The star also has an apparent magnitude of 13.438, which means that it cannot be seen from Earth with the unaided eye.
