TOI-2382 b
TOI-2382 b is a hot Jupiter orbiting TOI-2382 in the constellation Aquarius. It lies about 1,419 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2025 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-2382 b?
TOI-2382 b has a radius of 12.25 times that of Earth, or 1.09 times the radius of Jupiter. Its mass is 235 times that of Earth, giving it a density of 0.68 g/cm³ — closer to gas planets like Jupiter (1.33 g/cm³).
Is TOI-2382 b in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-2382 b orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-2382. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-2382: 1.144–2.679 AU (conservative: 1.449–2.540 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-2382 b
The equilibrium temperature of TOI-2382 b is about 1,426 K (1,153 °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. It receives 689 times the stellar energy that Earth gets from the Sun.
Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-2382 b — one full orbit around TOI-2382 — lasts 4.66 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.059 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun. Its orbit is mildly elliptical (eccentricity 0.18).
How Was TOI-2382 b Discovered?
TOI-2382 b 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-2382 b?
TOI-2382 b is 1,418.5 light-years (434.9 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet about 1,419 years ago. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 24,965,600 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-2382 b
Is TOI-2382 b habitable?
No — TOI-2382 b orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How far away is TOI-2382 b?
TOI-2382 b is about 1,419 light-years from Earth in the constellation Aquarius. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 24,965,600 years to get there.
How big is TOI-2382 b compared to Earth?
TOI-2382 b has 12.25 times the radius of Earth and about 235 times its mass.
How long is a year on TOI-2382 b?
One orbit around TOI-2382 takes 4.7 Earth days — short enough that 78 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
