Kepler-362 and Its Two Worlds
Kepler-362 is a star located 3560 light-years away. It is 4.27 billion years old and has a mass of 0.86 solar masses, a radius of 0.83 solar radii, and a temperature of 5530 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler. Two planets orbit this host.
Both planets were 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; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-362 b is a Sub-Earth with a radius of 0.88 Earth radii and an orbital period of 10.3 days. Kepler-362 c is Earth-like, with a radius of 1.45 Earth radii and an orbital period of 37.9 days. Among the listed planets, Kepler-362 b has the shortest year and the smallest radius by reported estimates. Kepler-362 c has the longest year and the largest radius by reported estimates.
