TOI-904 c

TOI-904 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 150 ly from Earth in the constellation Mensa, 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-904 c, you would weigh roughly about 14% more than you do on Earth. Its orange dwarf looks 1.7× wider than ours, bathing the surface in deep orange light. A year passes in just 84 days, and it sits squarely in the habitable zone, among the more Earth-like worlds known.

Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.1 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 deeper and fuller.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about -56°C (-69°F), sound would travel roughly 13% slower than on Earth, so your voice would sound deeper and fuller. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
★★★★
Recommended, with reservations
  • !Cold at about -56°C (-69°F), survivable only fully suited and heated.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, about 1.14 times, so you would move much as you do here.
  • It orbits within the habitable zone, where a world could in principle hold liquid water.

Common questions

What is the gravity on TOI-904 c?

TOI-904 c's surface gravity is about 1.1 times Earth's, estimated from its size.

How much would you weigh on TOI-904 c?

Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh about 171 pounds on TOI-904 c.

How far is TOI-904 c from Earth?

TOI-904 c lies about 150 light-years from Earth.

How long would it take to get to TOI-904 c?

At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 234,444 years.

How hot is TOI-904 c?

TOI-904 c's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about -56°C (-69°F).

Is TOI-904 c habitable?

TOI-904 c orbits inside its star's habitable zone, the range of distances where liquid water could be stable, and its Earth-similarity index is 0.72. That makes it worth studying, but it is not evidence of life: we have no measurement of its atmosphere, water, or surface.

How long is a year on TOI-904 c?

TOI-904 c completes one orbit of its star in 84 days.
