HD 63433 d (TOI-1726 d) is a confirmed exoplanet orbiting HD 63433, a Sun-like star located 73 light-years away in the constellation Gemini. Its radius is measured at around 1.1 R🜨, which makes it similar to the Earth in size. It was the third (and most recent) exoplanet to be discovered in orbit around this star; the other two, HD 63433 b and c, were discovered in 2020. Orbiting its star at a distance of 0.0503 astronomical units (7,520,000 km), HD 63433 d is the innermost planet orbiting HD 63433, and completes an orbit around it just every 4 days. Due to the proximity of its star, the planet is scorching hot, having a temperature estimated at 1260 °C at daytime. The proximity of its star also causes it to be tidally locked.
