TOI-5961 b
TOI-5961 b orbits TOI-5961 once every 1.61751 days. The system is about 85.6268 light-years from Earth.
Archive retrieved November 1, 2026 (America/New_York). The selected paper and archive update dates appear below.
The recorded orbit
The selected archive solution gives an orbital period of 1.61751 days, or 0.0044285 Earth years. The listed eccentricity is 0. A zero may be a circular assumption fixed in the fit; consult the paper before treating it as an exact observed shape. The period measures a year on this planet. It does not establish the length of its rotation or the duration of daylight.
Read how orbital period, size, and eccentricity fit together.
Size and mass
The radius parameter is 1.38 (+0.16 / −0.17) Earth radii. Radius describes size; it does not specify the mass or the atmospheric composition. No mass parameter is supplied in this solution, so this record cannot establish bulk composition from size and mass together.
The host star and received light
The host is cataloged as TOI-5961. Its reported effective temperature is 3900.68 K. Its reported radius is 0.70171 solar radii. Its reported mass is 0.6 solar masses. The available stellar and orbital entries do not establish a breathable atmosphere, surface water, or life.
