TOI-4311 c
TOI-4311 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 440 ly from Earth in the constellation Fornax, discovered in 2026 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-4311 c, you would weigh about 123% more than you do on Earth. Its orange dwarf looks 7.6× 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 15 days, and at an estimated 398°C (748°F) it is blistering.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
Heavier than home, at 2.2 times Earth's gravity. A child would end up markedly shorter and powerfully built, about 0.85x as tall as on Earth: a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft. Bones, muscle, and heart would all grow heavier just to stand and move.
- 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.
- Movement
- Low and deliberate
- A fall under this gravity lands hard, so movement stays slow, planted, and careful.
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 398°C (748°F), sound would travel roughly 53% 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.

- !Blistering at about 398°C (748°F), far too hot for liquid water on the surface.
- !Noticeably heavy, 2.2 times Earth's gravity.
- !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.
