Kepler-770 d
Kepler-770 d is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 3,035 ly from Earth in the constellation Lyra, discovered in 2016 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-770 d, you would weigh roughly about 30% more than you do on Earth. Its yellow, Sun-like star looks 14.9× wider than ours, bathing the surface in warm white 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 4.2 days, and at an estimated 1668°C (3034°F) it is hot enough to melt rock.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
A little heavier than home, at about 1.3 times Earth's gravity. A child raised here would likely grow a little shorter and sturdier than their Earth-raised parents, about 0.95x as tall as on Earth: a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft 7 in, with denser bones.
- Bones
- Thick and dense
- More weight to bear forces the skeleton to grow denser and stronger all through childhood.
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 high and thin, almost cartoonish.
Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 1668°C (3034°F), sound would travel roughly 160% faster than on Earth, so your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

- !At about 1668°C (3034°F), the daytime side glows: metals run liquid and any atmosphere is being torn away.
- Surface gravity is close to Earth's, about 1.30 times, so you would move much as you do here.
- !Its star delivers about 210 times the sunlight Earth gets, a blinding, sterilizing glare.
- !Earth-similarity index 0.12: this world has almost nothing in common with our own.
- !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.
