WORLDWALKGJ 3998 c
GJ 3998 c is a hot water-rich world orbiting a red dwarf star 59.2 ly away. A year there lasts 13.7 days. It was found using the radial velocity method: it makes its star wobble. Planets this size may be wrapped in thick gas; the game imagines it as a solid or water world you can walk on. Note: its size is estimated from its mass, only a minimum mass is known.
What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined
Nobody has seen the surface of GJ 3998 c. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on hot, steamy shores of a water world.
- Air: H₂O (water vapor) steam, N₂ (nitrogen) · a guess. Surface pressure: 5.5 bar.
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 76 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 46 cm.
- The air is about 6 times denser than at sea level on Earth: thick enough to slow a falling rock.
Pack the right suit. Choose 3 of 6 modules (cooling, heating, pressure hull, extra oxygen, radiation shield, jetpack), complete 3 surveys and get back to the lander before your oxygen runs out.
