TOI-2076 e
TOI-2076 e is a super-Earth orbiting the K V star TOI-2076 in the constellation Boötes. It lies about 137 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2025 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-2076 e?
TOI-2076 e has a radius of 1.30 times that of Earth. Its mass is 4.7 times that of Earth, giving it a density of 11.50 g/cm³ — comparable to rocky planets like Earth (5.51 g/cm³).
Is TOI-2076 e in the Habitable Zone?
The position of TOI-2076 e relative to the habitable zone of TOI-2076 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Temperature on TOI-2076 e
The equilibrium temperature of TOI-2076 e is about 1,110 K (837 °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-2076 e — one full orbit around TOI-2076 — lasts 3.02 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.039 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun.
How Was TOI-2076 e Discovered?
TOI-2076 e was discovered in 2025 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-2076 e?
TOI-2076 e is 136.7 light-years (41.9 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1890. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 2,405,920 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-2076 e
Is TOI-2076 e habitable?
TOI-2076 e is not known to orbit within the habitable zone of TOI-2076, and as a super-Earth it is an unlikely candidate for life as we know it.
How far away is TOI-2076 e?
TOI-2076 e is about 137 light-years from Earth in the constellation Boötes. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 2,405,920 years to get there.
How big is TOI-2076 e compared to Earth?
TOI-2076 e has 1.30 times the radius of Earth and about 4.7 times its mass.
How long is a year on TOI-2076 e?
One orbit around TOI-2076 takes 3.0 Earth days — short enough that 121 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
