Kepler-362 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 0.90 solar masses, 5,788 K, 0.72 solar radii), 1,091 light-years from Earth. Kepler-362 b is a planet with 0.9 Earth radii, with an orbital period of 10.3 days, at 0.087 AU from its star, discovered in 2014 via transit. Kepler-362 c is a planet with 1.4 Earth radii, with an orbital period of 37.9 days, at 0.207 AU from its star, discovered in 2014 via transit. The planet was found when it crossed the face of its star, producing periodic dips in brightness that reveal its size and orbital period to space-based photometry.
