TOI-4336 A b
Water WorldMarginal73 light years awayFound 2024
TOI-4336 A b, from the NASA Exoplanet Archive (found 2024). Measured: 3.33 Earth masses, 0.0849 AU, a 3307 K M-type star. Composition inferred from a measured bulk density of 0.34x Earth's — too light for bare rock, so a large fraction of water and ice, with a day locked to its 16.3-day year, as anything orbiting this close would be.

Water World
Life DetectedHigh Activity
Why is this a Water World?Your planet has abundant oxygen (41.2%) and hydrogen (17.6%), creating extensive water coverage while in the habitable temperature zone.
Water worlds have deep global oceans covering most or all of their surface. They form when planets have high water content and orbit in the habitable zone.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Oxygen: 41.2% + Hydrogen: 17.6% (water-forming elements)✓ Temperature: 333K (habitable range)✓ Distance: 0.08 AU (habitable zone)

Contributing Factors
temperature70
Challenging but potentially habitable temperature
atmosphere60
Nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere - breathable and protective (partially stripped by slow rotation)
water100
Abundant water
magnetic Field30
No magnetic field - vulnerable to solar radiation
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
rotation30
Very slow rotation - extreme temperature swings between eternal day and night sides
