If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment

about 0.60x as tall as on Earth · a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 3 ft 6 in

Beyond about four times Earth's gravity, a growing child's skeleton could not carry its own weight. A human body simply could not develop here, even sheltered indoors. The shape below is only where the trend points before biology gives out: short, and impossibly dense.

Bones
Thick and dense
More weight to bear forces the skeleton to grow denser and stronger all through childhood.
Heart
Large and powerful
Pushing blood upward against stronger gravity demands a bigger, harder-working heart.

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 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.
  • !Gravity is 930.9 times Earth's, near the limit at which a person can stand or walk at all.
  • !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.
