TOI-1824 b
TOI-1824 b is a super-Earth orbiting TOI-1824 in the constellation Ursa Major. It lies about 194 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2024 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-1824 b?
TOI-1824 b has a radius of 2.74 times that of Earth. Its mass is 16.0 times that of Earth, giving it a density of 4.24 g/cm³ — between that of rocky and gaseous planets.
Is TOI-1824 b in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-1824 b orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-1824. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-1824: 0.506–1.215 AU (conservative: 0.641–1.152 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-1824 b
The equilibrium temperature of TOI-1824 b is about 529 K (256 °C) — hotter than anywhere on Earth. 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-1824 b — one full orbit around TOI-1824 — lasts 22.8 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.151 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun.
How Was TOI-1824 b Discovered?
TOI-1824 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-1824 b?
TOI-1824 b is 193.8 light-years (59.4 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1833. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 3,410,880 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-1824 b
Is TOI-1824 b habitable?
No — TOI-1824 b orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How far away is TOI-1824 b?
TOI-1824 b is about 194 light-years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 3,410,880 years to get there.
How big is TOI-1824 b compared to Earth?
TOI-1824 b has 2.74 times the radius of Earth and about 16.0 times its mass.
How long is a year on TOI-1824 b?
One orbit around TOI-1824 takes 22.8 Earth days — short enough that 16 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
