Catalog values (NASA Exoplanet Archive): mass 7,310 M⊕, radius 2.80 R⊕. Its catalog mass and radius imply a density of 1830.4 g/cm³, denser than compressed iron, so they cannot both be right, and gravityfinder does not use KOI-2513.01 in gravity rankings or weight calculations.

Your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 485°C (905°F), sound would travel roughly 62% 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.

Cosmic travel advisory
★☆☆☆☆
Do not travel
  • !Furnace-hot at around 485°C (905°F), with no liquid water and no shade anywhere.
  • !Its star delivers about 78 times the sunlight Earth gets, a blinding, sterilizing glare.
  • !Earth-similarity index 0.05: this world has almost nothing in common with our own.
