Kepler-196 d
Kepler-196 d is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 1,472 ly from Earth in the constellation Lyra, discovered in 2021 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-196 d, you would weigh roughly about 7% more than you do on Earth. Its orange dwarf looks 1.7× wider than ours, bathing the surface in amber-orange light. A year passes in just 122 days, and at an estimated 24°C (75°F) it is warm.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
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 24°C (75°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.
A real voice sample, pitch-shifted (tempo held constant) to suggest the acoustics: a playful approximation, not a precise simulation. Voice: Lingua Libre / Vealhurl, CC BY-SA 4.0.
- Surface temperatures near 24°C (75°F) fall in the range where liquid water is at least possible.
- Surface gravity is close to Earth's, about 1.07 times, so you would move much as you do here.
