Hot Jupiters are giant gas planets that orbit very close to their stars. They are believed to have migrated inward from their original formation locations due to interactions with the protoplanetary disk or other planets in the system. This migration process could have been caused by gravitational interactions or tidal forces, leading to their current close proximity to their stars.

The exoplanets called "Hot Jupiters."
"The theory was not based on accurate observations" does not describe a scientifically reasonable explanation for why the nebular theory failed to predict the existence of hot Jupiters. The actual reason is that hot Jupiters were not part of the original models due to limitations in our understanding of planet formation and migration processes.
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.
Hot Jupiters may have migrated close to their stars due to interactions with the protoplanetary disk during their formation, gravitational interactions with other planets, or tidal forces from the star.
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."
Hot Jupiters were among the earliest known exoplanets discovered because they are large gas giants that orbit very close to their parent stars, making them easier to detect using early planet-hunting techniques.
Models suggest that the clouds on hot Jupiters could be composed of minerals like corundum and silicates, as well as exotic compounds such as titanium oxide and aluminum oxide. These clouds may form due to strong winds, vertical mixing, and high temperatures in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters.

Yes, there are planets known as "hot Jupiters" that are larger than Jupiter in terms of mass and size. These exoplanets are gas giants like Jupiter but orbit much closer to their host star, resulting in higher temperatures and different atmospheric compositions.
