How does this planet compare to the hot Jupiters discovered around other stars?

Small & cold.


How do astronomers explain the orbit of hot jupiters?

Astronomers explain the orbit of hot Jupiters, gas giant exoplanets located close to their stars, through theories of planetary migration. These planets likely formed further from their stars and later migrated inward due to gravitational interactions with the protoplanetary disk or through interactions with other bodies. Tidal forces and the dissipative processes in the disk can also help circularize their orbits. Additionally, some hot Jupiters may have formed in situ through rapid gas accretion in their current locations.


What is the best explanation for the location of hot Jupiters?

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.


What is formed as a ball of hot gases revolving around the Sun?

A planet is formed out of hot gases revolving around the Sun.


What kind of cluster did our sun form in?

Our sun formed in a cluster known as a stellar nursery, which is a cloud of gas and dust where stars are born. The sun likely formed in a cluster with many other stars around the same time, but has since drifted away from its birth cluster.

How might hot Jupiters have gotten so close to the stars they orbit?

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.

How are galaxies and stars formed?

stars are formed when particles of matter in space attract to each other beacause of gravity and form clumps slowy increasing their mass and gravity and attracting more particles eventually forming stars many stars orbiting or clustered around a mass large enough to have a great amount of gravity is a galaxy. these large masses are usually thought to be black holes. usually many galaxies orbit around a laarge black hole


How are blue stars formed from protostars?

All stars are formed from protostars.


Where were the elements that are found in nature formed'?

Hydrogen and helium are thought to be formed during the Big Bang. We also know that helium is formed in stars during the process of stellar evolution. The other elements formed in stars during stellar evolution and end-of-life stellar events (like a supernova). It could be said that with the exception of hydrogen, all the elements formed in stars during one phase or another of the life of stars. This though minute quantities of some isotopes that are found in nature appear in the decay chains of other isotopes and were not themselves created in stars as described.


Is it true that Hydrogen and Helium were formed by nuclear reaction in the stars and other elements were formed after the Big Bang?

Close, but not exactly. Hydrogen is not formed by nuclear reactions in stars, hydrogen was formed not long after the Big Bang, when the expanding universe had cooled sufficiently that an electron and a proton could combine to form a hydrogen atom. Helium and all the other elements that are heavier than hydrogen, were formed by the process of nuclear fusion, in stars.
