Kepler-156 and Its Two Planets

Kepler-156 is a star located 1450 light-years away, and two planets have been found orbiting it. The host star is 5.37 billion years old and has a mass of 0.84 solar masses, a radius of 0.8 solar radii, and a temperature of 5110 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its temperature is cooler.

Both planets were discovered by the transit method in 2014, which detects the small dip in brightness when a planet passes in front of its star. Kepler-156 b is a Super-Earth with an orbital period of 4.97 days and a radius of 2.3 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's. Kepler-156 c is Neptune-like, with an orbital period of 15.9 days and a radius of 2.55 Earth radii, also larger than Earth's.

Among the listed planets, Kepler-156 b has the shortest year, at 4.97 days, and the smallest radius, at 2.3 Earth radii. Kepler-156 c has the longest year, at 15.9 days, and the largest radius, at 2.55 Earth radii.
