TOI-5110 b
TOI-5110 b is a cold gas giant orbiting TOI-5110 in the constellation Auriga. It lies about 1,279 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2024 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-5110 b?
TOI-5110 b has a radius of 11.98 times that of Earth, or 1.07 times the radius of Jupiter. Its mass is 922 times that of Earth, giving it a density of 2.95 g/cm³ — between that of rocky and gaseous planets.
Is TOI-5110 b in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-5110 b orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-5110. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-5110: 1.944–4.540 AU (conservative: 2.462–4.304 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-5110 b
The equilibrium temperature of TOI-5110 b is about 976 K (703 °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.
Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-5110 b — one full orbit around TOI-5110 — lasts 30.2 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.216 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun. Its orbit is highly elliptical (eccentricity 0.75), swinging dramatically closer to and farther from its star.
How Was TOI-5110 b Discovered?
TOI-5110 b 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-5110 b?
TOI-5110 b is 1,279.4 light-years (392.3 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet about 1,279 years ago. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 22,517,440 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-5110 b
Is TOI-5110 b habitable?
No — TOI-5110 b orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How far away is TOI-5110 b?
TOI-5110 b is about 1,279 light-years from Earth in the constellation Auriga. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 22,517,440 years to get there.
How big is TOI-5110 b compared to Earth?
TOI-5110 b has 11.98 times the radius of Earth and about 922 times its mass.
How long is a year on TOI-5110 b?
One orbit around TOI-5110 takes 30.2 Earth days — short enough that 12 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
