HD 169830 c is an extrasolar planet, most likely a gas giant, three and a half times as massive as Jupiter. It is likely to be smaller in radius but slightly larger than Jupiter. Although its appearance is unknown, speculation suggests that the planet is white in appearance, due to water clouds similar to those in our own atmosphere. Its orbit is eccentric, with a period (year) of 1830 days. The planet orbits in the outer edge of the star's habitable zone.
