Closer to its sun than Venus. It would be hot 2 1/2 times Earth mass would mean 100 pounds here would be 250 pounds there.

They’ll have to revise the BMI chart…

100 pounds here would be 140 pounds there. The radius is 2.5 earth radius but the mass is 8.8 times earth's. You need to multiply by 8.8 then divide by the square of 2.5 to make the conversion. That gives you the 1.4 conversion factor.

Actually, at 8.8 times the mass, 100 lbs would be 880 lbs.
