Kepler-302 and Its Two Planets
Kepler-302 is a star located 4570 light-years away. It is 6.61 billion years old, holds 1.02 solar masses and 1.11 solar radii, and has a temperature of 5780 K. Two planets orbit this host.
Both planets are Jupiter-like and were found by transit, the dimming of a star's brightness when a planet crosses in front of it. Kepler-302 b has a radius of 4.06 Earth radii, larger than Earth's, and an orbital period of 30.2 days. Kepler-302 c is larger still, with a radius of 12.5 Earth radii, and completes an orbit in 127 days. Among the listed planets, Kepler-302 b has the shortest year and the smallest radius, while Kepler-302 c has the longest year and the largest radius.
