description Kepler-90g Overview
Kepler-90g is the sixth known planet by orbital distance in the Kepler-90 system. It is a transiting gas giant with a radius of roughly eight Earth radii and an orbital period of about 211 days. The planet belongs to a confirmed eight-planet system identified beyond the Solar System, a configuration that allows researchers to compare an inner group of smaller planets with more distant giant planets around the same star.
help Kepler-90g FAQ
What kind of planet is Kepler-90g?
Kepler-90g is a transiting gas giant with a radius of roughly eight Earth radii. It is the sixth known planet by orbital distance in the Kepler-90 system.
How long is a year on Kepler-90g?
Kepler-90g completes one orbit in about 211 days. That places it much closer to its star than Jupiter is to the Sun, despite being a giant planet.
How many planets are in the Kepler-90 system?
The Kepler-90 system is known for having eight confirmed planets. Its compact architecture is often compared with the Solar System because it contains both inner small planets and outer giant planets.
How was Kepler-90g found?
It was identified through transit observations, in which a planet briefly dims the light of its host star as it passes across the star's disk. The Kepler mission was central to discovering planets in the Kepler-90 system.
