About this world
K2-183 c is a sub-Neptune orbiting K2-183, a yellow, Sun-like star 1.07 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 2.3 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 10.8 days at 0.093 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 787 K (514 °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. K2-183 has 3 known planets; the others are K2-183 b and K2-183 d.
