Since the light level changes from peak = about 1.000 dip = about 0.992 the depth of the dip is depth = 1.000 - 0.992 = 0.008 = 0.8 percent The depth is related to the size of the planet as follows: area of planet pi * (radius of planet)^2 -------------- = ------------------------- = depth area of star pi * (radius of star)^2 So 2 ( radius of planet ) ( ---------------- ) = depth ( radius of star ) And we can solve for the ratio of planet's radius to star's radius: radius of planet ------------------ = sqrt ( depth ) radius of star = sqrt ( 0.008 ) = 0.089 So ( radius of planet ) = 0.089 * (radius of star) If the star is like our Sun, then ( radius of planet ) = 0.089 * (6.96 x 10^5 km) = 62,000 km which is roughly the size of Saturn.
