GJ 180 d

GJ 180 d is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 38.9 ly from Earth in the constellation Eridanus, discovered in 2020 by Multiple Facilities.

Radial Velocity: spotted by the gravitational wobble the planet tugs in its star.

Standing on GJ 180 d, you would weigh roughly about 7% more than you do on Earth. Its red dwarf looks 1.3× wider than ours, bathing the surface in deep orange light. A year passes in just 106 days, and at an estimated -85°C (-121°F) it is deeply frozen.

Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.1 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 deeper and fuller.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about -85°C (-121°F), sound would travel roughly 19% slower than on Earth, so your voice would sound deeper and fuller. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
★★★☆☆
For seasoned travelers
  • !Cold at about -85°C (-121°F), survivable only fully suited and heated.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, at least 1.07 times, so you would move much as you do here.

Common questions

What is the gravity on GJ 180 d?

GJ 180 d's surface gravity is at least 1.1 times Earth's, and possibly more: its mass is only a lower bound.

How much would you weigh on GJ 180 d?

Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh at least 160 pounds on GJ 180 d.

How far is GJ 180 d from Earth?

GJ 180 d lies about 38.9 light-years from Earth.

How long would it take to get to GJ 180 d?

At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 60,739 years.

How hot is GJ 180 d?

GJ 180 d's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about -85°C (-121°F).

How long is a year on GJ 180 d?

GJ 180 d completes one orbit of its star in 106 days.
