Is There a Boiling Ocean Planet 70 Light Years Away?
A recent study from the University of Cambridge has revealed the existence of a planet, 70 light years away from our solar system, that may be covered entirely by water.…
Ocean planets are a type of exoplanet characterized by their significant amounts of water, primarily in the form of deep oceans covering the majority of their surface. These planets may have very little or no landmass and possess conditions that allow liquid water to exist, influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the planet’s atmosphere. Ocean planets are typically located in the habitable zone of their stars, where temperatures permit liquid water to be present. These planets can be diverse in composition, potentially featuring different types of water chemistry, and may support various forms of life if the conditions are right. The concept of ocean planets expands our understanding of planetary formation and the possibilities for extraterrestrial environments.
