TOI-6692 b
TOI-6692 b is a cold gas giant orbiting TOI-6692 in the constellation Octans. It lies about 1,021 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2026 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-6692 b?
TOI-6692 b has a radius of 11.68 times that of Earth, or 1.04 times the radius of Jupiter. Its mass is 197 times that of Earth.
Is TOI-6692 b in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-6692 b orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-6692. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-6692: 1.075–2.525 AU (conservative: 1.362–2.394 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-6692 b
The equilibrium temperature of TOI-6692 b is about 467 K (194 °C) — hotter than anywhere on Earth. 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-6692 b — one full orbit around TOI-6692 — lasts 131.1 Earth days, between the years of Mercury (88 days) and Earth (365 days). It orbits at an average distance of 0.512 AU — comparable to the inner Solar System. Its orbit is highly elliptical (eccentricity 0.54), swinging dramatically closer to and farther from its star.
How Was TOI-6692 b Discovered?
TOI-6692 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-6692 b?
TOI-6692 b is 1,020.6 light-years (312.9 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1006. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 17,962,560 years to make the journey.
