About this world

Kepler-1093 c is a super-Earth orbiting Kepler-1093, a yellow-white F-type star 3.5 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 2 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 89.7 days at 0.41 AU from its star.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 508 K (235 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. By the "cosmic shoreline", it has likely held on to an atmosphere.

It was discovered in 2016 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. Kepler-1093 has 2 known planets; the others are Kepler-1093 b.
