TOI-1782.02
TOI-1782.02 is a super-Earth orbiting TOI-1782 in the constellation Ursa Minor. It lies about 311 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2024 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-1782.02?
TOI-1782.02 has a radius of 1.84 times that of Earth.
Is TOI-1782.02 in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-1782.02 orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-1782. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-1782: 0.303–0.754 AU (conservative: 0.384–0.715 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-1782.02
TOI-1782.02 receives 214 times the stellar energy that Earth gets from the Sun.
Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-1782.02 — one full orbit around TOI-1782 — lasts just 43.9 hours, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.026 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun.
How Was TOI-1782.02 Discovered?
TOI-1782.02 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-1782.02?
TOI-1782.02 is 310.7 light-years (95.3 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1716. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 5,468,320 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-1782.02
Is TOI-1782.02 habitable?
No — TOI-1782.02 orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How far away is TOI-1782.02?
TOI-1782.02 is about 311 light-years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Minor. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 5,468,320 years to get there.
How big is TOI-1782.02 compared to Earth?
TOI-1782.02 has 1.84 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TOI-1782.02?
One orbit around TOI-1782 takes 1.8 Earth days — short enough that 200 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
