WASP-107 b is an exoplanet located approximately 200 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Virgo. It was discovered by the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) project, which focuses on detecting transiting exoplanets. WASP-107 b is classified as a ‘ hot Jupiter,’ a type of gas giant exoplanet that orbits very close to its parent star, resulting in high temperatures.
This planet is particularly notable for its low density, which suggests that it has a significant amount of atmospheric gas compared to its mass, resembling a bloated structure. The discovery of WASP-107 b has contributed to the understanding of planetary formation and the diversity of planetary systems. The study of such exoplanets helps scientists learn about the characteristics and evolution of planets beyond our solar system.
With its enchanting, candy floss-like appearance, the exoplanet WASP-107 b has captured the attention of researchers. Situated 200 light years away from Earth in the Virgo constellation, WASP-107 b is…
