TOI-5174 b
TOI-5174 b is a Neptune-like planet orbiting TOI-5174 in the constellation Leo. It lies about 643 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2022 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-5174 b?
TOI-5174 b has a radius of 5.35 times that of Earth.
Is TOI-5174 b in the Habitable Zone?
The position of TOI-5174 b relative to the habitable zone of TOI-5174 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Habitable zone of TOI-5174: 0.792–1.872 AU (conservative: 1.003–1.775 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-5174 b — one full orbit around TOI-5174 — lasts 12.2 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year.
How Was TOI-5174 b Discovered?
TOI-5174 b was discovered in 2022 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-5174 b?
TOI-5174 b is 643.3 light-years (197.2 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1383. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 11,322,080 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-5174 b scores 0.15, ranking #4,190 of 5,568 planets with a known ESI. For reference, Mars scores about 0.70.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-5174 b
Is TOI-5174 b habitable?
TOI-5174 b is not known to orbit within the habitable zone of TOI-5174, and as a Neptune-like planet it is an unlikely candidate for life as we know it.
How far away is TOI-5174 b?
TOI-5174 b is about 643 light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 11,322,080 years to get there.
How big is TOI-5174 b compared to Earth?
TOI-5174 b has 5.35 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TOI-5174 b?
One orbit around TOI-5174 takes 12.2 Earth days — short enough that 30 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
