About this world
EPIC 212624936 c is a sub-Neptune orbiting EPIC 212624936, a yellow, Sun-like star 1.83 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 2.3 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 11.8 days at 0.1 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 814 K (541 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.
It was discovered in 2021 by transit with K2. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. EPIC 212624936 has 2 known planets; the others are EPIC 212624936 b.
