Europa
Europa is a rocky world in our own solar system in the constellation Pisces.
Standing on Europa, you would weigh about 87% less than you do on Earth. Its yellow dwarf, like our Sun sun looks 0.19× as wide than ours, bathing the surface in warm white light. A year passes in just 11.9 years, and at an estimated -171°C (-276°F) it is colder than almost anywhere in the solar system.
Europa is in our own solar system. It orbits about 5.20 AU from the Sun, so sunlight reaches it in roughly 43 minutes. But a spacecraft is far slower:
