# The Kepler-304 system

Kepler-304 is a star in Cygnus, 1418 ly away, with 4 known planets. Their orbits run from 0.0232 to 0.0800 AU. All of them were detected by transit.

Every figure is the planet's composite parameter from the [NASA Exoplanet Archive (Planetary Systems Composite Parameters)](https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/TblView/nph-tblView?app=ExoTbls&config=PSCompPars), one consistent set per world. Semi-major axes are orbits about the star, not distances from Earth.
