Kepler-183 c
Kepler-183 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 3,427 ly from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, discovered in 2014 by Kepler.
Transit: spotted by the tiny, repeating dip in its star’s light each time the planet crosses in front of it (what that means).
Its yellow, Sun-like star looks 9.3× 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 12 days, and at an estimated 584°C (1083°F) it is furnace-hot.
Catalog values (NASA Exoplanet Archive): mass 35.70 M⊕, radius 2.27 R⊕. Its catalog mass and radius imply a density of 16.8 g/cm³, denser than compressed iron, so they cannot both be right, and gravityfinder does not use Kepler-183 c in gravity rankings or weight calculations.

Your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish.
Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 584°C (1083°F), sound would travel roughly 73% 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.

- !Furnace-hot at around 584°C (1083°F), with no liquid water and no shade anywhere.
- !Its star delivers about 109 times the sunlight Earth gets, a blinding, sterilizing glare.
- !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.

How far is Kepler-183 c from Earth?
Kepler-183 c lies about 3,427 light-years from Earth.
How long would it take to get to Kepler-183 c?
At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 5.3 million years.
How hot is Kepler-183 c?
Kepler-183 c's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about 584°C (1083°F).
How long is a year on Kepler-183 c?
Kepler-183 c completes one orbit of its star in 12 days.
