Habitability Assessment

Temperature Range

1975 K is outside the range for liquid water (180-310 K).

Habitable Zone

This planet orbits outside the estimated habitable zone of its star.

Habitability assessments are rough estimates based on limited available data. True habitability depends on many additional factors including atmospheric composition, magnetic field presence, tidal locking, and stellar activity. These assessments should not be considered definitive.
