Why are many of the newly detected extrasolar planets called hot Jupiters?

Many newly detected extrasolar planets are called hot Jupiters because they are large, gaseous planets with characteristics similar to Jupiter, but they orbit very close to their host star. This proximity to their star causes them to have high surface temperatures, hence the term "hot."


Jupiters length of day?

Jupiter's length of day, as in its rotation period, is about 9.9 hours. This rapid rotation causes Jupiter to have an oblate shape, flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.


What is the significant feature of the moon?

One significant feature of the moon is its gravitational pull, which causes the tides on Earth. Another significant feature is its lack of atmosphere, which exposes it to space debris and radiation. Additionally, the moon's phases, caused by its position relative to the sun and Earth, are another notable feature.


What causes the surface of the sun to emit light and heat?

The light and heat emitted by the surface of the sun are the result of nuclear fusion process happening in its core. Hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.


Why the raindrop is spherical?

Raindrops are spherical due to surface tension. Surface tension causes the water molecules on the surface of the drop to attract each other, minimizing the surface area and forming a spherical shape, which is the most efficient way to contain the water molecules.
