EPIC 212624936: A Two-Planet System in the Distant Sky

EPIC 212624936 is a star located 1830 light-years away, and two planets have been found orbiting it. It has a mass of 1 solar masses, a radius of 0.913 solar radii, and a temperature of 5630 K. The star's reported radius is smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's.

Both planets were discovered in 2021 using the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. EPIC 212624936 b is classified as Earth-like, with a radius of 1.2 Earth radii and an orbital period of 0.579 days. EPIC 212624936 c is classified as a Super-Earth, with a radius of 2.3 Earth radii and an orbital period of 11.8 days.

Among the listed planets, EPIC 212624936 b has the shortest year and the smallest radius by reported estimates. EPIC 212624936 c has the longest year and the largest radius by reported estimates. Its reported radius is larger than Earth's. The 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.
