TOI-1224 c

TOI-1224 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 122 ly from Earth in the constellation Hydrus, discovered in 2024 by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

Transit: spotted by the tiny, repeating dip in its star’s light each time the planet crosses in front of it.

much like Earth height

Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.0 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.

Hear how a voice sounds herea computed acoustic demo

Your voice would sound much as it does on Earth.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 30°C (86°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 30°C (86°F) fall in the range where liquid water is at least possible.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, about 1.04 times, so you would move much as you do here.
