The Kepler-162 system contains 2 exoplanets. It is located 2790.72 light years away from the solar system.
| Mass | 0.95 solar masses |
| Radius | 0.96 solar radiae |
| Temperature | 5816 kelvin |
| Stellar Metallicity | 0.03 decimal exponent |
| Age | 3.02 billion years |
At 2.127 Earth masses, Kepler-162 b is a so called Super Earth. Super Earths could be terrestrial worlds like Earth, but they could also be ocean worlds or terrestrial worlds wrapped in a substantial atmosphere, in which case some refer to them as Mini Neptunes.
