GJ 536 c

GJ 536 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 34.0 ly from Earth in the constellation Virgo, discovered in 2025 by Multiple Facilities.

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

Standing on GJ 536 c, you would weigh roughly about 11% more than you do on Earth. Its red dwarf looks 3.3× wider than ours, bathing the surface in deep orange light. It is likely tidally locked, so that sun never moves in the sky: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night. A year passes in just 33 days, and at an estimated 17°C (63°F) it is warm.

much like Earth height

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 much as it does on Earth.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 17°C (63°F), sound would travel close to its Earth speed, so your voice would sound much as it does on Earth. The real atmosphere is unknown.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
★★★★
Recommended, with reservations
  • Surface temperatures near 17°C (63°F) fall in the range where liquid water is at least possible.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, at least 1.11 times, so you would move much as you do here.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.

Common questions

What is the gravity on GJ 536 c?

GJ 536 c'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 536 c?

Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh at least 167 pounds on GJ 536 c.

How far is GJ 536 c from Earth?

GJ 536 c lies about 34.0 light-years from Earth.

How long would it take to get to GJ 536 c?

At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 52,949 years.

How hot is GJ 536 c?

GJ 536 c's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about 17°C (63°F).

How long is a year on GJ 536 c?

GJ 536 c completes one orbit of its star in 33 days.
