| Planet | Orbital period | Distance from star | Radius (Earths) | Mass (Earths) | Found | Method |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kepler-68 b | 5.399 days | 0.06135 AU | 2.357 | 8.03 | 2013 | Transit |
| Kepler-68 c | 9.605 days | 0.09008 AU | 0.979 | 2013 | Transit | |
| Kepler-68 d | 632.6 days | 1.469 AU | at least 238.1 | 2013 | Radial Velocity | |
| Kepler-68 e | 9.459 years | 4.6 AU | at least 86.45 | 2023 | Radial Velocity |
"At least" is a minimum mass. Radial velocity can only measure mass times the sine of the orbit's tilt.
