TOI-2285 b
TOI-2285 b is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 138 ly from Earth in the constellation Cepheus, discovered in 2021 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 (what that means).
Its red dwarf looks 3.4× wider than ours, bathing the surface in deep 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 14 days, and at an estimated 85°C (185°F) it is warm.
Catalog values (NASA Exoplanet Archive): mass 19.50 M⊕, radius 1.77 R⊕. Its catalog mass and radius imply a density of 19.4 g/cm³, denser than compressed iron, so they cannot both be right, and gravityfinder does not use TOI-2285 b in gravity rankings or weight calculations.

Your voice would sound noticeably higher and reedier.
Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 85°C (185°F), sound would travel roughly 11% faster than on Earth, so your voice would sound noticeably higher and reedier. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

- !Persistently hot at around 85°C (185°F), well above anything you would call comfortable.
- !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.

How far is TOI-2285 b from Earth?
TOI-2285 b lies about 138 light-years from Earth.
How long would it take to get to TOI-2285 b?
At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 215,724 years.
How hot is TOI-2285 b?
TOI-2285 b's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about 85°C (185°F).
How long is a year on TOI-2285 b?
TOI-2285 b completes one orbit of its star in 14 days.
