TOI-4562 b
TOI-4562 b is a exoplanet orbiting the F7 V star TOI-4562 in the constellation Carina. It lies about 1,108 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2023 using the transit method.
Is TOI-4562 b in the Habitable Zone?
The position of TOI-4562 b relative to the habitable zone of TOI-4562 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Habitable zone of TOI-4562: 0.944–2.207 AU (conservative: 1.196–2.092 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-4562 b — one full orbit around TOI-4562 — lasts 225.1 Earth days, between the years of Mercury (88 days) and Earth (365 days).
How Was TOI-4562 b Discovered?
TOI-4562 b was discovered in 2023 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-4562 b?
TOI-4562 b is 1,107.6 light-years (339.6 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet about 1,108 years ago. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 19,493,760 years to make the journey.
Earth Similarity Index
The Earth Similarity Index (ESI) scores how physically similar a planet is to Earth, from 0 to 1, based on radius, density, escape velocity and surface temperature. TOI-4562 b scores 0.24, ranking #3,248 of 5,568 planets with a known ESI. For reference, Mars scores about 0.70.
