TOI-5624 b
TOI-5624 b is a super-Earth orbiting TOI-5624 in the constellation Ursa Major. It lies about 332 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2026 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-5624 b?
TOI-5624 b has a radius of 2.31 times that of Earth. Its mass is 9.4 times that of Earth, giving it a density of 4.00 g/cm³ — between that of rocky and gaseous planets.
Is TOI-5624 b in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-5624 b orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-5624. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-5624: 0.537–1.283 AU (conservative: 0.680–1.216 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-5624 b
The equilibrium temperature of TOI-5624 b is about 1,136 K (863 °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-5624 b — one full orbit around TOI-5624 — lasts 3.39 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.042 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun.
How Was TOI-5624 b Discovered?
TOI-5624 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-5624 b?
TOI-5624 b is 332.4 light-years (101.9 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1694. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 5,850,240 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-5624 b
Is TOI-5624 b habitable?
No — TOI-5624 b orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How far away is TOI-5624 b?
TOI-5624 b is about 332 light-years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 5,850,240 years to get there.
How big is TOI-5624 b compared to Earth?
TOI-5624 b has 2.31 times the radius of Earth and about 9.4 times its mass.
How long is a year on TOI-5624 b?
One orbit around TOI-5624 takes 3.4 Earth days — short enough that 108 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
