description Kepler-90e Overview
Kepler-90e is a confirmed transiting exoplanet orbiting the G-type star Kepler-90. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists a radius of about 2.66 Earth radii and an orbital period of 91.94 days. Its radius is larger than Earth's but smaller than Neptune's, so the measurement alone does not determine whether its interior is rocky, gaseous, or a mixture. The planet belongs to the eight-planet Kepler-90 system identified in data from NASA's Kepler mission.
