The sky is rising over the lava-covered planet

There are many different planets in space. Like Venus and Mercury also within our Solar System extremely hotLike Neptune extreme cold planets. However, these planets are not that extreme when we consider them in the infinity of space.

A new studio indeed the conditions are extreme and draws attention to a planet that looks more like an episode in a video game than a real planet. If the name of this planet is K2-141b and it’s swinging like rain on the planet.

Planet at 3000 degrees

K2-141b is a rather hot planet. The temperature of the planet’s surface, mostly covered with lava 3000 degrees Celsius around. McGill University researchers have come to interesting conclusions about this celestial body in their new study.

This structure, roughly the same size as Earth, orbits an orange dwarf star. Unlike our planet, this celestial body is very close is located at a distance. Even though the planet has mountains, plains and an atmosphere like ours, it’s all made of rocks.

Due to the position of the planet always the same face in front of the star. This provokes the emergence of extreme conditions. Although the temperature on one side of the planet is 3000 degrees, the temperature on the other side is Up to -200 degrees coming down.

Rain of stones

K2-141b’nin During the extremely hot day, the stones evaporate due to the high temperature. The sodium, silicon monoxide and silicon dioxide that make up the stones mix in the atmosphere. Then every hour with a speed of 5000 kilometers the winds are blowing these vaporized minerals through the cold part of the planet. Structures that become denser in the air and directly become rocks then fall back into the lava.

Although the planet is a bit strange but also high-level astronomical technologies It allows us to see where it comes from. Thanks to these technologies, we can better observe exoplanets outside our system.
