Kepler-115 and Its Two Known Planets

Kepler-115 is a star 2030 light-years away with two known planets, both discovered by transit in 2014. The host star is 4.57 billion years old, with a mass of 1.07 solar masses and a radius of 1.15 solar radii. Its temperature is 5930 K, and its mass, radius, and temperature are each reported as larger or hotter than the Sun's.

The two planets differ sharply in size and orbital period. Kepler-115 b is an Earth-like planet with a radius of 1.09 Earth radii, the smallest among the listed planets, and an orbital period of 2.4 days, the shortest year among the listed planets. Kepler-115 c is Neptune-like, with a radius of 2.6 Earth radii, the largest among the listed planets, and an orbital period of 8.99 days, the longest year among the listed planets. Its radius is larger than Earth's.
