description TOI-700 c Overview
TOI-700 c is a transiting sub-Neptune exoplanet orbiting the cool red dwarf TOI-700. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite identified the system, which also contains smaller planets including TOI-700 d and TOI-700 e. The system is notable because two of its known planets, d and e, orbit in or near the star's habitable zone, while planet c follows a shorter, warmer orbit closer to the star.
