TOI-1775 b
TOI-1775 b is a cold gas giant orbiting TOI-1775 in the constellation Leo Minor. It lies about 487 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2024 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-1775 b?
TOI-1775 b has a radius of 8.05 times that of Earth, or 0.72 times the radius of Jupiter. Its mass is 96.0 times that of Earth, giving it a density of 1.01 g/cm³ — closer to gas planets like Jupiter (1.33 g/cm³).
Is TOI-1775 b in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-1775 b orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-1775. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-1775: 0.537–1.284 AU (conservative: 0.680–1.217 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-1775 b
The equilibrium temperature of TOI-1775 b is about 708 K (435 °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-1775 b — one full orbit around TOI-1775 — lasts 10.2 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.080 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun.
How Was TOI-1775 b Discovered?
TOI-1775 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-1775 b?
TOI-1775 b is 486.7 light-years (149.2 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1540. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 8,565,920 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-1775 b
Is TOI-1775 b habitable?
No — TOI-1775 b orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How far away is TOI-1775 b?
TOI-1775 b is about 487 light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo Minor. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 8,565,920 years to get there.
How big is TOI-1775 b compared to Earth?
TOI-1775 b has 8.05 times the radius of Earth and about 96.0 times its mass.
How long is a year on TOI-1775 b?
One orbit around TOI-1775 takes 10.2 Earth days — short enough that 36 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
