# The Kepler-864 system

Kepler-864 is a star in Lyra, 6598 ly away, with 2 known planets. Their orbits run from 0.0382 to 0.0687 AU. All of them were detected by transit.

## The planets, innermost first

| Planet | Orbit (AU) | Period | Radius | Mass | Equilibrium T |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [c](https://spacecatalog.org/object/kepler-864-c) | 0.0382 | 2.422 d | 1.62 R⊕ | 3.26 M⊕ | 1532 K |

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.
