NASA has discovered that a year on a sizzling planet known as “hell planet” only lasts about 17.5 hours on Earth.
That’s because the planet, formally named Janssen, orbits its host star Copernicus so closely that it completes one orbit in less than one day.The “hell planet” is located 40 light years away and is eight times as massive and twice as wide as Earth.
The planet is so hot that it has a molten lava ocean with a surface that reaches 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit.Copyright 2022 CNN Newsource. All rights reserved.
