Kepler-1141 b

Kepler-1141 b is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 1,284 ly from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, discovered in 2016 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-1141 b, you would weigh roughly about 29% less than you do on Earth. Its yellow, Sun-like star looks 30.4× wider than ours, bathing the surface in warm white 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 2.3 days, and at an estimated 1198°C (2188°F) it is hot enough to melt rock.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
EARTH HEIGHT≈ 1.1xEARTH-RAISEDRAISED HERE
about 1.1x taller than on Earth · a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 6 ft 3 in

Lighter than home, at about 0.71 times Earth's gravity. A child raised here would likely grow taller and more slender than their Earth-raised parents, about 1.1x taller than on Earth: a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 6 ft 3 in.

Bones
Light and slender
With little weight to carry, the growing skeleton lays down far less bone, the way astronauts' bones thin in months of low gravity.
Movement
Bounding and springy
So little weight means each step would carry the body up and forward in long, floating strides.

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.

Your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 1198°C (2188°F), sound would travel roughly 126% faster than on Earth, so your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
☆☆☆☆
Do not travel
  • !At about 1198°C (2188°F), the daytime side glows: metals run liquid and any atmosphere is being torn away.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, about 0.71 times, so you would move much as you do here.
  • !Its star delivers about 1,147 times the sunlight Earth gets, a blinding, sterilizing glare.
  • !Earth-similarity index 0.17: this world has almost nothing in common with our own.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.
