Kepler-93 is 313 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this 5,669 K star; the first was found in 2014 by transit (Kepler).
Fly there in 3DKepler-93 b goes round its star every 4.73 days, 19 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
Where the archive gives only a period or only an orbit size, the other is worked out from Kepler’s third law with the star’s mass.
| Surface temperature | 5,669 K |
| Mass | 0.911 solar masses |
| Radius | 0.919 solar radii |
| Luminosity | 0.7841 times the Sun |

| Planet | Year | Orbit | Radius | Mass | Found |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kepler-93 b | 4.73 days | 0.0534 AU | 1.478 R⊕ | 4.66 M⊕ | Transit, 2014 |
| Kepler-93 c | 4.0 years | 2.442 AU from Kepler’s law | — | 954 M⊕ | Radial Velocity, 2014 |
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.
For a star of 5,669 K, 0.78 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.85 to 1.50 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.
