How does this planet compare to the hot Jupiters discovered around other stars?
Small & cold.
What is the best explanation for the location of hot Jupiters?
They formed farther out like Jupiter but then migrated inward.
What planets are large fast moving and made mostly of gas?
The exoplanets called "Hot Jupiters."
Why are many of the detected extrasolar planets called hot-Jupiters?
Their masses are similar to Jupiter but they are very close to the central star therefore very hot.
What is a consequence of the discovery of hot Jupiters for understanding your own Solar System?
It shows that we do not fully understand the formation of our Solar System.
What do models suggest make up the clouds on hot Jupiters?
rock dust
How hot is Jupiters core?
Jupiter's core is about 36,00 Celsius.

What planets are large fast moving and made mostly of gases?
The "exoplanets" known as "Hot Jupiters".
How hot is Jupiters surface?
not very It is all gases around a small cool rock core.

How did variations in the orbit of uranus help scientist discover neptume?
By calculating the gravitational tug necessary to pull Uranus in its orbit, they were able to tell astronomers where to point their telescopes to discover Neptune.
What planet do most known extrasolar planets resemble?
Be cause we can see the big ones more easily, especially those close to their star (because they transit/orbit with a short time interval) most exoplanets are Jupiter like (or larger) and are hot. Hence they are called Hot Jupiters.
