TOI-1753 b
TOI-1753 b is a super-Earth orbiting TOI-1753 in the constellation Draco. It lies about 739 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2024 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-1753 b?
TOI-1753 b has a radius of 2.48 times that of Earth. Its mass is 16.6 times that of Earth, giving it a density of 5.95 g/cm³ — comparable to rocky planets like Earth (5.51 g/cm³).
Is TOI-1753 b in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-1753 b orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-1753. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-1753: 0.699–1.655 AU (conservative: 0.886–1.569 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-1753 b
The equilibrium temperature of TOI-1753 b is about 1,005 K (732 °C) — hot enough to melt many metals. This estimate ignores any atmosphere, which could change surface temperatures dramatically — Earth's greenhouse effect adds about 33 °C.
Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-1753 b — one full orbit around TOI-1753 — lasts 5.38 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.059 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun.
How Was TOI-1753 b Discovered?
TOI-1753 b was discovered in 2024 using the transit method, with observations from Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
The transit method watches a star for the tiny, regular dip in brightness that occurs when a planet crosses in front of it. The depth and timing of these dips reveal the planet's size and orbital period.
How Far Away Is TOI-1753 b?
TOI-1753 b is 739.3 light-years (226.7 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1287. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 13,011,680 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-1753 b
Is TOI-1753 b habitable?
No — TOI-1753 b orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How far away is TOI-1753 b?
TOI-1753 b is about 739 light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 13,011,680 years to get there.
How big is TOI-1753 b compared to Earth?
TOI-1753 b has 2.48 times the radius of Earth and about 16.6 times its mass.
How long is a year on TOI-1753 b?
One orbit around TOI-1753 takes 5.4 Earth days — short enough that 68 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
