TOI-2267 c
TOI-2267 c is a terrestrial planet orbiting the M5 V star TOI-2267 A in the constellation Cepheus. It was discovered in 2025 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-2267 c?
TOI-2267 c has a radius of 1.14 times that of Earth.
Is TOI-2267 c in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-2267 c orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-2267 A. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-2267 A: 0.047–0.125 AU (conservative: 0.060–0.119 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-2267 c
The equilibrium temperature of TOI-2267 c is about 374 K (101 °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. It receives 4.70 times the stellar energy that Earth gets from the Sun.
Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-2267 c — one full orbit around TOI-2267 A — lasts 3.50 Earth days, 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-2267 c Discovered?
TOI-2267 c 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-2267 c
Is TOI-2267 c habitable?
No — TOI-2267 c orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How big is TOI-2267 c compared to Earth?
TOI-2267 c has 1.14 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TOI-2267 c?
One orbit around TOI-2267 A takes 3.5 Earth days — short enough that 105 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
