Kepler-185 and Its Two Planets

Kepler-185 is a star located 1520 light-years away. It is 4.9 billion years old and has a mass of 0.82 solar masses and a radius of 0.79 solar radii. Its temperature is 5130 K, cooler than the Sun's, and both its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's. Two planets orbit this host.

Kepler-185 b and Kepler-185 c were both discovered by transit in 2014. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness, and repeated dips help establish orbital periods.

Kepler-185 b is classified as Earth-like and has a radius of 1.17 Earth radii. It completes an orbit every 1.63 days, the shortest year among the listed planets. Kepler-185 c is classified as a Super-Earth and has a radius of 2.02 Earth radii, the largest among the listed planets. Its orbital period is 20.7 days, the longest year among the listed planets.

In size classification, an Earth-like planet stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius, while a Super-Earth reaches 2.5 times.
