Rocky world

TOI-1416 b

TOI-1416 b is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 179 ly from Earth in the constellation Boötes, discovered in 2023 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.

Standing on TOI-1416 b, you would weigh about 33% more than you do on Earth. Its orange dwarf looks 41.2× wider than ours, bathing the surface in amber-orange 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 1.1 days, and at an estimated 1244°C (2271°F) it is hot enough to melt rock.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
EARTH HEIGHT≈ 0.95xEARTH-RAISEDRAISED HERE
about 0.95x as tall as on Earth · a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft 6 in

A little heavier than home, at 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 6 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 1244°C (2271°F), sound would travel roughly 130% 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.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
☆☆☆☆
Do not travel
  • !At about 1244°C (2271°F), the daytime side glows: metals run liquid and any atmosphere is being torn away.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, 1.33 times, so you would move much as you do here.
  • !Its star delivers about 883 times the sunlight Earth gets, a blinding, sterilizing glare.
  • !Earth-similarity index 0.16: this world has almost nothing in common with our own.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.
