TOI-500 c
TOI-500 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 155 ly from Earth in the constellation Puppis, discovered in 2022 by La Silla Observatory.
Radial Velocity: spotted by the gravitational wobble the planet tugs in its star.
Standing on TOI-500 c, you would weigh roughly about 15% more than you do on Earth. Bathing the surface in amber-orange light. A year passes in just 6.6 days.
What these mean: surface gravity · tidal locking · equilibrium temperature
If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.2 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.
We do not yet have a temperature for this world, and its atmosphere is unknown, so its acoustics cannot be modelled. In Earth-like air a human voice carries as you know it, and without the temperature that is as far as the physics will take us.
- Surface gravity is close to Earth's, at least 1.15 times, so you would move much as you do here.

What is the gravity on TOI-500 c?
TOI-500 c's surface gravity is at least 1.2 times Earth's, and possibly more: its mass is only a lower bound.
How much would you weigh on TOI-500 c?
Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh at least 173 pounds on TOI-500 c.
How far is TOI-500 c from Earth?
TOI-500 c lies about 155 light-years from Earth.
How long would it take to get to TOI-500 c?
At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 241,074 years.
How long is a year on TOI-500 c?
TOI-500 c completes one orbit of its star in 6.6 days.
