TOI-4363 b has a radius of 1.77 times that of Earth.

Is TOI-4363 b in the Habitable Zone?

The position of TOI-4363 b relative to the habitable zone of TOI-4363 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.

Too hot Optimistic habitable zone Conservative habitable zone Too cold

Habitable zone of TOI-4363: 0.305–0.762 AU (conservative: 0.387–0.723 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length

A year on TOI-4363 b — one full orbit around TOI-4363 — lasts 2.12 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year.

How Was TOI-4363 b Discovered?

TOI-4363 b 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-4363 b?

TOI-4363 b is 253.7 light-years (77.8 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1773. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 4,465,120 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-4363 b

Is TOI-4363 b habitable?

TOI-4363 b is not known to orbit within the habitable zone of TOI-4363, and as a super-Earth it is an unlikely candidate for life as we know it.

How far away is TOI-4363 b?

TOI-4363 b is about 254 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cetus. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 4,465,120 years to get there.

How big is TOI-4363 b compared to Earth?

TOI-4363 b has 1.77 times the radius of Earth.

How long is a year on TOI-4363 b?

One orbit around TOI-4363 takes 2.1 Earth days — short enough that 172 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
