What size is Kepler?
NASA’s Kepler space telescope detected it using the transit method, along with four additional planets orbiting much closer to the star (all modestly larger than Earth)….Kepler-186f.

Is Kepler 47c bigger than Earth?
The outer planet — Kepler-47c — is about 4.5 times the size of the Earth — slightly larger than Uranus — and orbits the stars every 303 days. This makes the outer planet the longest-period transiting planet currently known.
How far can the Kepler telescope see?
600 to 3,000 light years
The distance to most of the stars for which Earth-size planets can be detected by Kepler is from 600 to 3,000 light years.
How large is Kepler-452b?
The star that Kepler-452b orbits has the same spectral type (G2) as the Sun and is about 1,400 light-years from Earth. The planet’s radius is 1.63 times that of Earth. If the planet has a rocky composition, its mass would be about 5 times that of Earth.

How far is Kepler 47 from Earth?
4,892 light yearsKepler-47 / Distance to Earth
Kepler-47 is a binary star system of constellation Cygnus with three exoplanets in orbit around the pair of stars located about 1055 parsecs (3,442 light years) away from Earth.
How long is a day on Kepler-47c?
303 days
Kepler-47c orbits around its parent stars every 303 days at a distance of 0.99 AU from its stars (nearly the same distance that Earth orbits from the Sun, which is about 1 AU).
Can we go to Kepler?
Kepler-452 is the name of a star in the constellation of Cygnus (the swan). It’s a star that’s similar to our own sun, but it’s too faint for us to see from Earth without a telescope. Kepler-452 is about 1,800 light years away, which means it currently would take a spacecraft about 30m years to travel there.
