About this world

Kepler-1802 c is a sub-Neptune orbiting Kepler-1802, an orange dwarf 2.08 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 2.3 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 33.1 days at 0.17 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.

Its equilibrium temperature is about 357 K (84 °C): too cold for liquid water on its surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.

It was discovered in 2021 by transit with Kepler. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. Kepler-1802 has 2 known planets; the others are Kepler-1802 b.
