HD 219666b is a hot Neptune type exoplanet that orbits around the G-type main sequence star named HD 219666 (also known as TOI-118). It orbits the star at a distance of 0.06 AU with an orbital period of 6.03 days. The close orbit of the planet makes the temperature of the planet rise to 1073 Kelvin. The planet has a mass of 16.6 Earth masses with a radius of 4.71 Earth radii. It was discovered in 2018 using the transit method of exoplanet detection.[1][2]
HD 219666b has an atmosphere that is rich in water vapor but is significantly depleted in methane.[3]
