Kepler-1402 and Its Sub-Earth Planet
Kepler-1402 is a star 4870 light-years away with one known planet in orbit. The host star is 4.57 billion years old, with a mass of 0.9 solar masses and a radius of 0.87 solar radii. Its reported temperature is 5420 K, cooler than the Sun's, and its mass and radius are both smaller than the Sun's.
The system's only cataloged planet is Kepler-1402 b, a Sub-Earth discovered by transit in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-1402 b completes an orbit every 2.03 days, and its radius of 0.76 Earth radii is smaller than Earth's.
