Kepler-262 and Its Two Known Planets

Kepler-262 is a star located 2000 light-years away, and it hosts two planets. The star is 3.55 billion years old, with a mass of 1.03 solar masses, a radius of 1.05 solar radii, and a temperature of 5890 K.

The two planets are Kepler-262 b and Kepler-262 c, both discovered in 2014 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness.

Kepler-262 b is an Earth-like planet with a radius of 1.36 Earth radii and an orbital period of 13.1 days. Kepler-262 c is a Super-Earth with a radius of 1.64 Earth radii and an orbital period of 21.9 days. Among the listed planets, Kepler-262 b has the shortest year and the smallest radius, while Kepler-262 c has the longest year and the largest radius. Size classes compare radius with Earth's, so an Earth-like planet stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius, while a Super-Earth reaches 2.5 times.
