TOI-4527.01
TOI-4527.01 is a terrestrial planet orbiting TOI-4527 in the constellation Pisces. It lies about 59 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2024 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-4527.01?
TOI-4527.01 has a radius of 0.91 times that of Earth.
Is TOI-4527.01 in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-4527.01 orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-4527. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-4527: 0.163–0.418 AU (conservative: 0.206–0.396 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-4527.01
The equilibrium temperature of TOI-4527.01 is about 1,363 K (1,090 °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 572 times the stellar energy that Earth gets from the Sun.
Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-4527.01 — one full orbit around TOI-4527 — lasts just 9.6 hours, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.008 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun.
How Was TOI-4527.01 Discovered?
TOI-4527.01 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-4527.01?
TOI-4527.01 is 59.0 light-years (18.1 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1967. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 1,038,400 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-4527.01
Is TOI-4527.01 habitable?
No — TOI-4527.01 orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How far away is TOI-4527.01?
TOI-4527.01 is about 59 light-years from Earth in the constellation Pisces. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 1,038,400 years to get there.
How big is TOI-4527.01 compared to Earth?
TOI-4527.01 has 0.91 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TOI-4527.01?
One orbit around TOI-4527 takes 0.4 Earth days — short enough that 914 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
