Today we are talking about an exoplanet similar in size to the Earth and possibly habitable.

It's called the TOI 700D.

It is located roughly 101.4 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Dorado.

The exoplanet is the first Earth-sized exoplanet in the habitable zone detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey satellite Tess in 2020.

TOI 700D is a red dwarf of spectral class M that is about 40% the mass, about 40% the radius, and very roughly 50% of the temperature of the sun.

TOI 700D orbits its host star every 37.4 days.

The average temperature would be about 4.3 degrees Celsius.
