Kepler-324 c

Kepler-324 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 1,636 ly from Earth in the constellation Draco, 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-324 c, you would weigh about 38% less than you do on Earth. Its orange dwarf looks 3.2× wider than ours, bathing the surface in amber-orange 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 52 days, and at an estimated 137°C (278°F) it is blistering.

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 5 in

Lighter than home, at 0.62 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 5 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.

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 137°C (278°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.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
★★★☆☆
For seasoned travelers
  • !Persistently hot at around 137°C (278°F), well above anything you would call comfortable.
  • !Low gravity, 0.62 times Earth's, would hold only a thin, unbreathable atmosphere at best.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.

What is the gravity on Kepler-324 c?

Kepler-324 c's surface gravity is about 0.62 times Earth's.

How much would you weigh on Kepler-324 c?

Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh about 94 pounds on Kepler-324 c.

How far is Kepler-324 c from Earth?

Kepler-324 c lies about 1,636 light-years from Earth.

How long would it take to get to Kepler-324 c?

At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 2.6 million years.

How hot is Kepler-324 c?
