Kepler-1802

Planetary system · 2076.6 light-years away

Kepler-1802 is 2,077 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this 4,245 K star; the first was found in 2021 by transit (Kepler).

Worth knowing

Kepler-1802 b goes round its star every 15.5 days, 6 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.

The planets, compared

For a star of 4,245 K, 0.12 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.35 to 0.66 AU. None of its known planets orbits inside it. The zone says how much starlight arrives, not whether a planet has water or air. The edges follow Kopparapu et al. (2014), as the 3D view draws them.

The light you see left 2,077 years ago, around 100 BC.
