Standing on Earth, you would weigh almost exactly what you weigh on Earth. From here the Sun looks about the same size as it does from Earth, bathing the surface in warm white light. A year here lasts 365 days, and it sits squarely in the habitable zone, among the more Earth-like worlds known.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
EARTH HEIGHT≈ 1.0xEARTH-RAISEDRAISED HERE
much like Earth height

Gravity close to Earth's, at 1.0 times. A child would grow up much as they would back home.

A playful thought experiment from this world’s gravity, not a prediction about any real person. No human has ever grown up off Earth, so no one truly knows; the direction (taller in low gravity, shorter and stockier in high) follows how growing bodies respond to weight.

Hear how a voice sounds herea computed acoustic demo

Your voice would sound much as it does on Earth.

This is the air your voice grew up in, so it sounds exactly as you know it: the baseline every other world is measured against.

sound speed ≈ 340 m/s · 1.00× Earth

A real voice sample, pitch-shifted (tempo held constant) to suggest the acoustics: a playful approximation, not a precise simulation. Voice: Lingua Libre / Vealhurl, CC BY-SA 4.0.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
★★★★★
Highly recommended
  • The only world we know of with breathable air, liquid-water oceans, and temperatures you can step into unprotected.
  • Surface gravity your body is built for, behind a magnetic field that deflects solar radiation.
  • You are, as it happens, already here.

A playful read of Earth’s measured and computed values, not a real advisory.

Where it is

Earth is in our own solar system. It orbits about 1.00 AU from the Sun, so sunlight reaches it in roughly 8 minutes. You are already standing on it.

Common questions

What is the gravity on Earth?

Earth's surface gravity is about 1.0 times Earth's.

How much would you weigh on Earth?

Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh about 150 pounds on Earth.

How hot is Earth?

Earth's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about 15°C (59°F).

How long is a year on Earth?

Earth completes one orbit of the Sun in 365 days.
