TOI-1806 c
TOI-1806 c is a super-Earth orbiting TOI-1806 in the constellation Leo Minor. It lies about 181 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2026 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-1806 c?
TOI-1806 c has a radius of 1.32 times that of Earth.
Is TOI-1806 c in the Habitable Zone?
The position of TOI-1806 c relative to the habitable zone of TOI-1806 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Habitable zone of TOI-1806: 0.106–0.278 AU (conservative: 0.134–0.263 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-1806 c — one full orbit around TOI-1806 — lasts just 12.0 hours, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year.
How Was TOI-1806 c Discovered?
TOI-1806 c was discovered in 2026 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-1806 c?
TOI-1806 c is 181.1 light-years (55.5 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1845. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 3,187,360 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-1806 c
Is TOI-1806 c habitable?
TOI-1806 c is not known to orbit within the habitable zone of TOI-1806, and as a super-Earth it is an unlikely candidate for life as we know it.
How far away is TOI-1806 c?
TOI-1806 c is about 181 light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo Minor. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 3,187,360 years to get there.
How big is TOI-1806 c compared to Earth?
TOI-1806 c has 1.32 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TOI-1806 c?
One orbit around TOI-1806 takes 0.5 Earth days — short enough that 728 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
