WASP-3b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star WASP-3 in the constellation Lyra, which is about 730 light-years away.
Its radius and mass indicate that it is possibly a gas giant, with a composition similar to Jupiter, although due to its proximity to its star (3% of the distance from the Earth to the Sun), it is classified as a hot Jupiter.
