Like 5-6 degrees hotter. 20% CO2 means extreme greenhouse which means that despite the greater axial tilt (29degrees compared to Earth which is 21 or something lesser than 29), seasonal variations are mild. Two seasons, or three. Very small ice caps, similar to a very polluted Earth.

How would you describe Pandora in Avatar?

Pandora is an Earth-like habitable extrasolar moon from the Alpha Centauri System, the closest star system to human's own Solar System. It is the fifth moon of the gas giant Polyphemus, which orbits Alpha Centauri A.

The atmosphere of Pandora does have enough oxygen for humans (21%-22%), but too much carbon dioxide (16%-18%). The Na'vi have special organs (similar to kidneys) called Wichow that take advantage of this atmosphere to extract greater amounts of oxygen for their bloodstream.

How low is Pandora's gravity?

The gravity on Pandora is 20% lower than that of Earth, the air is 20% denser, and the air resistance is increased, which each have a number of effects. The air they breath is toxic to the humans from earth, which requires them to wear masks while in the atmosphere (and not inside).
