Kepler-62 f
Kepler-62 f is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 981 ly from Earth in the constellation Lyra, discovered in 2013 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 orange dwarf looks about the same size as ours, bathing the surface in amber-orange light. A year passes in just 267 days, and it sits squarely in the habitable zone, among the more Earth-like worlds known.
Catalog values (NASA Exoplanet Archive): mass 35.00 M⊕, radius 1.41 R⊕. Its catalog mass and radius imply a density of 68.8 g/cm³, denser than compressed iron, so they cannot both be right, and gravityfinder does not use Kepler-62 f in gravity rankings or weight calculations.

Your voice would sound deeper and fuller.
Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about -65°C (-85°F), sound would travel roughly 15% slower than on Earth, so your voice would sound deeper and fuller. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.
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.
- !Cold at about -65°C (-85°F), survivable only fully suited and heated.
- It orbits within the habitable zone, where a world could in principle hold liquid water.

How far is Kepler-62 f from Earth?
Kepler-62 f lies about 981 light-years from Earth.
How long would it take to get to Kepler-62 f?
At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 1.5 million years.
How hot is Kepler-62 f?
Kepler-62 f's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about -65°C (-85°F).
Is Kepler-62 f habitable?
Kepler-62 f orbits inside its star's habitable zone, the range of distances where liquid water could be stable, and its Earth-similarity index is 0.61. That makes it worth studying, but it is not evidence of life: we have no measurement of its atmosphere, water, or surface.
How long is a year on Kepler-62 f?
Kepler-62 f completes one orbit of its star in 267 days.
