Top: scatter plot of Kepler exoplanets, separated by the line ﹩{R}_{\mathrm{trans}}/{R}_{\oplus }=1.05\,{(F/{F}_{\oplus })}^{0.11}﹩ (left) or ﹩{R}_{\mathrm{trans}}/{R}_{\oplus }=2.6\,{(P/\mathrm{yr})}^{-0.1467}﹩ (right). Bottom: cumulative distribution of size ratios (Rout/Rin). Planet pairs that are entirely above (blue) or entirely below (red) Rtrans have similar radii. But when the planets straddle the line, the outer planet is typically significantly larger than the inner planet.
