TOI-2018 b

TOI-2018 b is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 91.3 ly from Earth in the constellation Corona Borealis, 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-2018 b, you would weigh about 79% more than you do on Earth. Bathing the surface in amber-orange light. A year passes in just 7.4 days, and at an estimated 303°C (578°F) it is blistering.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
EARTH HEIGHT≈ 0.89xEARTH-RAISEDRAISED HERE
about 0.89x as tall as on Earth · a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft 2 in

A little heavier than home, at 1.8 times Earth's gravity. A child raised here would likely grow a little shorter and sturdier than their Earth-raised parents, about 0.89x as tall as on Earth: a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft 2 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 303°C (578°F), sound would travel roughly 41% 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.
