The Kepler Satellite has discovered well over a thousand planetary candidates, via transit. Kepler-10 b is 173 parsecs (564 light years) while Kepler-35(AB) b is 1645 parsecs (5365 light years). Kepler 42 b, c, & d are 38.7 parsecs (126 light years).

This satellite is not a planet, but rather an artifact orbiting our sun at about the same distance as the Earth, built to detect exoplanets. Exoplanets are planets that orbit stars beyond ours.

Who is bigger planet earth or planet Kepler?

There is no single planet named Kepler, rather it is part of the designation given to planets discovered using the Kepler telescope. Most of the planets discovered using the telescope are larger than Earth, but some are smaller.


What is the distance between planet earth and planet Kepler?

There is no planet Kepler. Designations such as Kepler-69c are given to planets discovered by the Kepler spacecraft. This spacecraft has discovered planets ranging from 100 to 7,000 light years away.


What is the name of the planet that looks like Earth but 100 like years from earth?

The planet you are referring to is likely Kepler-452b, which is located about 1,400 light-years away from Earth. It was discovered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope and is considered a "cousin" to Earth due to its potential habitability.

From Kepler's third law a hypothetical planet that is twice as far from the sun as the earth should have a period of?

Kepler's third law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis. If a hypothetical planet is twice as far from the sun as Earth, its semi-major axis would be 2 times larger. Therefore, the period of this hypothetical planet would be √(2^3) = 2.83 times longer than Earth's period.


How many light years between Kepler and Earth?

If you mean the star Kepler-11, it is at a distance of about 2000 light-years.


Is Kepler 22b the largest planet?

No. Kepler-22b is between the sizes of Earth and Neptune. The largest known planet is HAT-P-32b which gas about twice the radius of Jupiter.


What is the smallest planet discovered?

Well there isnt one. There is no planet in the world, there are planets in the solar system though


Is there life on Kepler 22 b?

It is unknown. So far Earth is the only planet known to have life. Some observations suggest that Kepler-22b might be capable of supporting life. Even if there is life there, we cannot detect it with current technology.

How far form the earth is your planet?

Er ... which planet exactly do you think that we come from? As far as science can discover, Earth IS the only planet with life on it, so you're asking how far Earth is from Earth.


Can we live at Kepler the new planet?

There is no single planet named Kepler. Planets discovered by the Kepler space telescope are given designations such as Kepler-22b or Kepler-69c. Very little is known about these planets, but most, if not all, would not be habitable for humans.
