EPIC 201615463 c
EPIC 201615463 c is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 1,555 ly from Earth in the constellation Virgo, discovered in 2019 by K2.
Transit: spotted by the tiny, repeating dip in its star’s light each time the planet crosses in front of it.
Standing on EPIC 201615463 c, you would weigh roughly about 33% more than you do on Earth. Bathing the surface in warm white light. A year passes in just 3.8 days.
What these mean: surface gravity · tidal locking · equilibrium temperature
If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
A little heavier than home, at about 1.3 times Earth's gravity. A child raised here would likely grow a little shorter and sturdier than their Earth-raised parents, about 0.94x as tall as on Earth: a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft 6 in, with denser bones.
- Bones
- Thick and dense
- More weight to bear forces the skeleton to grow denser and stronger all through childhood.
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.
We do not yet have a temperature for this world, and its atmosphere is unknown, so its acoustics cannot be modelled. In Earth-like air a human voice carries as you know it, and without the temperature that is as far as the physics will take us.
- Surface gravity is close to Earth's, about 1.33 times, so you would move much as you do here.
