Kepler-69 c

Kepler-69 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 2,383 ly from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, 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.

Standing on Kepler-69 c, you would weigh roughly about 22% more than you do on Earth. Its yellow, Sun-like star looks 1.5× wider than ours, bathing the surface in warm white light. A year passes in just 242 days, and at an estimated 26°C (79°F) it is warm.

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.

Your voice would sound much as it does on Earth.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 26°C (79°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.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
★★★★
Recommended, with reservations
  • Surface temperatures near 26°C (79°F) fall in the range where liquid water is at least possible.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, about 1.22 times, so you would move much as you do here.

Common questions

What is the gravity on Kepler-69 c?

Kepler-69 c's surface gravity is about 1.2 times Earth's, estimated from its size.

How much would you weigh on Kepler-69 c?

Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh about 183 pounds on Kepler-69 c.

How far is Kepler-69 c from Earth?

Kepler-69 c lies about 2,383 light-years from Earth.

How long would it take to get to Kepler-69 c?

At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 3.7 million years.

How hot is Kepler-69 c?

Kepler-69 c's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about 26°C (79°F).

How long is a year on Kepler-69 c?

Kepler-69 c completes one orbit of its star in 242 days.
