List Of Hottest Exoplanets

From Handwiki
Short description: none

This is a list of the hottest exoplanets so far discovered, specifically those with temperatures greater than 2,500 K (2,230 °C; 4,040 °F). For comparison, the hottest planet in the Solar System is Venus, with a temperature of 737 K (464 °C; 867 °F).

List

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.

Methods for finding temperature:

  • Teff: Measured effective temperature.
  • Teq: The temperature of the planet has not been measured, so it is listed with the calculated equilibrium temperature.
