Kepler-285 is a star located 2690 light-years away. It is 4.17 billion years old and has a mass of 0.85 solar masses, a radius of 0.81 solar radii, and a temperature of 5300 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's. Two planets orbit this host.
Both planets are classified as Earth-like and were discovered by transit, the dimming of a star's brightness when a planet crosses in front of it. Kepler-285 b has an orbital period of 2.63 days and a radius of 1.34 Earth radii. Kepler-285 c has an orbital period of 6.19 days and a radius of 1.12 Earth radii. Among the listed planets, Kepler-285 b has the shortest year and the largest radius, while Kepler-285 c has the longest year and the smallest radius.
