WASP-18 b
WASP-18 b
WASP-18 b is an exoplanet orbiting the star WASP-18, located about 326.2 light-years (100.0 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2009.
The host star WASP-18 has apparent magnitude of 9.3, with absolute magnitude of 4.3. It is 1.2 times more massive and 1.2 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 6400 with its spectral types of F6
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet WASP-18 b orbits around the star WASP-18 every 0.9 days with its orbital distance of 0.02 AU ( 3062268.4 km)
(Projected orbit of WASP-18 b around its host star WASP-18)
The Star WASP-18 's habitable zone is located at the following distance
