HD 20781 c is a hot Neptune around the star HD 20781. The planet has a mass of 15.78 Earth masses [4] and it orbits with a semi-major axis of 0.3456 astronomical units and an orbital eccentricity of approximately 0.28.[2][4] With the same composition as Neptune, it would have a radius of 3.79 times that of the Earth. With the same composition as Earth, it would have a radius of 2.08 times that of the Earth. It orbits near the inner edge of the habitable zone of HD 20781.
