Kepler-20

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.

Day

A day is the time period of a full rotation of the Earth with respect to the Sun.

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

Exoplanet

An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System.

Kepler space telescope

The Kepler space telescope is a defunct space telescope launched by NASA in 2009 to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars.

Kepler-20

Kepler-20 is a star about from Earth in the constellation Lyra with a system of at least five, and possibly six, known planets.

See Kepler-20e and Kepler-20

Kepler-20b is an exoplanet orbiting Kepler-20 in a system 922 light years from Earth. Kepler-20e and Kepler-20b are exoplanets discovered by the Kepler space telescope, exoplanets discovered in 2011, Kepler-20 and Transiting exoplanets.

Orbital eccentricity

In astrodynamics, the orbital eccentricity of an astronomical object is a dimensionless parameter that determines the amount by which its orbit around another body deviates from a perfect circle.

See Kepler-20e and Orbital eccentricity

Orbital inclination

Orbital inclination measures the tilt of an object's orbit around a celestial body.

Semi-major and semi-minor axes

In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the two most widely separated points of the perimeter.
