Kepler-11 g
Kepler-11 g is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 2,108 ly from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, discovered in 2010 by Kepler.
Transit: spotted by the tiny, repeating dip in its star’s light each time the planet crosses in front of it.
Standing on Kepler-11 g, you would weigh about 125% more than you do on Earth. Its yellow, Sun-like star looks 2.3× wider than ours, bathing the surface in warm white light. A year passes in just 118 days, and at an estimated 103°C (217°F) it is warm.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
Heavier than home, at 2.3 times Earth's gravity. A child would end up markedly shorter and powerfully built, about 0.85x as tall as on Earth: a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft. Bones, muscle, and heart would all grow heavier just to stand and move.
- Bones
- Thick and dense
- More weight to bear forces the skeleton to grow denser and stronger all through childhood.
- Heart
- Large and powerful
- Pushing blood upward against stronger gravity demands a bigger, harder-working heart.
- Movement
- Low and deliberate
- A fall under this gravity lands hard, so movement stays slow, planted, and careful.
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 noticeably higher and reedier.
Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 103°C (217°F), sound would travel roughly 14% faster than on Earth, so your voice would sound noticeably higher and reedier. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

- !Persistently hot at around 103°C (217°F), well above anything you would call comfortable.
- !Noticeably heavy, 2.3 times Earth's gravity.

What is the gravity on Kepler-11 g?
Kepler-11 g's surface gravity is about 2.3 times Earth's.
How much would you weigh on Kepler-11 g?
Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh about 338 pounds on Kepler-11 g.
How far is Kepler-11 g from Earth?
Kepler-11 g lies about 2,108 light-years from Earth.
How long would it take to get to Kepler-11 g?
At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 3.3 million years.
How hot is Kepler-11 g?
Kepler-11 g's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about 103°C (217°F).
How long is a year on Kepler-11 g?
Kepler-11 g completes one orbit of its star in 118 days.
