Gl 725 B c

Gl 725 B c is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 22.3 ly from Earth in the constellation Draco, discovered in 2026 by Mauna Kea Observatory.

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

Standing on Gl 725 B c, you would weigh roughly about 23% more than you do on Earth. Its red dwarf looks 2.0× 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 38 days, and it sits squarely in the habitable zone, among the more Earth-like worlds known.

Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.2 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 -58°C (-73°F), sound would travel roughly 14% 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
★★★★
Recommended, with reservations
  • !Cold at about -58°C (-73°F), survivable only fully suited and heated.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, at least 1.23 times, so you would move much as you do here.
  • It orbits within the habitable zone, where a world could in principle hold liquid water.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.

Common questions

What is the gravity on Gl 725 B c?

Gl 725 B c's surface gravity is at least 1.2 times Earth's, and possibly more: its mass is only a lower bound.

How much would you weigh on Gl 725 B c?

Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh at least 185 pounds on Gl 725 B c.

How far is Gl 725 B c from Earth?

Gl 725 B c lies about 22.3 light-years from Earth.

How long would it take to get to Gl 725 B c?

At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 34,805 years.

How hot is Gl 725 B c?

Gl 725 B c's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about -58°C (-73°F).

Is Gl 725 B c habitable?

Gl 725 B c orbits inside its star's habitable zone, the range of distances where liquid water could be stable, and its Earth-similarity index is 0.78. That makes it worth studying, but it is not evidence of life: we have no measurement of its atmosphere, water, or surface.

How long is a year on Gl 725 B c?

Gl 725 B c completes one orbit of its star in 38 days.
