WORLDWALKKepler-196 c
Kepler-196 c is a hot water-rich world orbiting an orange star 1,472 ly away. A year there lasts 47.4 days. It was found using the transit method: it dims its star as it passes in front. 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 mass is estimated from its size.
What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined
Nobody has seen the surface of Kepler-196 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: 3.2 bar.
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 79 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 44 cm.
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.
