Kepler-199 c

Kepler-199 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 1,699 ly from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, discovered in 2014 by Kepler.

ESI 0.471,699 lyDiscovered 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.

Standing on Kepler-199 c, you would weigh roughly almost exactly what you weigh on Earth. Its yellow, Sun-like star looks 3.1× wider than ours, bathing the surface in warm white light. A year passes in just 67 days, and at an estimated 147°C (296°F) it is blistering.

much like Earth height

Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.0 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 noticeably higher and reedier.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 147°C (296°F), sound would travel roughly 21% faster than on Earth, so your voice would sound noticeably higher and reedier. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
★★★★
Recommended, with reservations
  • !Persistently hot at around 147°C (296°F), well above anything you would call comfortable.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, about 1.00 times, so you would move much as you do here.
