Kepler-215 e
Kepler-215 e is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 1,585 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.
Standing on Kepler-215 e, you would weigh roughly about 21% more than you do on Earth. Its yellow, Sun-like star looks 3.3× wider than ours, bathing the surface in warm white light. A year passes in just 68 days, and at an estimated 132°C (269°F) it is blistering.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.2 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 132°C (269°F), sound would travel roughly 19% 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 132°C (269°F), well above anything you would call comfortable.
- Surface gravity is close to Earth's, about 1.21 times, so you would move much as you do here.
