About this world
K2-155 c is a sub-Neptune orbiting K2-155, an orange dwarf (type K7) 237 light-years from Earth. It is about 2.6 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 13.8 days at 0.095 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 583 K (310 °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 2018 by transit with K2. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction. K2-155 has 3 known planets; the others are K2-155 b and K2-155 d.
