Kepler-969 and Its Two Planets
Kepler-969 is a star located 1270 light-years away, and two planets have been found orbiting it. The host star is 1.51 billion years old, with a mass of 0.92 solar masses and a radius of 0.82 solar radii. Its temperature is 5210 K. The star's reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
Both planets were 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-969 b is classified as a Super-Earth, with a radius of 2.07 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. Its orbital period is 34.2 days, the longest year among the listed planets. Kepler-969 c is classified as a Sub-Earth, with a radius of 0.99 Earth radii, the smallest radius among the listed planets. Its orbital period is 1.68 days, the shortest year among the listed planets. Planet size classes compare radius with Earth's: a Sub-Earth is smaller than Earth, while a Super-Earth reaches 2.5 times Earth's radius.
