A newly discovered planet by scientists completes its orbit around its star in 8 hours, so a year here takes only 8 hours.
Our planet revolves around the Sun 365 days 6 hours completes and we 1 year we define as. However the concept of time; depending on the movements, velocities and positions of celestial bodies. Changes is showing.
From the Institute for Planetary Studies, German Aerospace Center astronomers a new planet discovered. Continuing their observations on the planet called GJ 367 b, scientists here Only 8 hours found it was going on.
1 year = 8 hours
in Science Journal According to published research, this planet is far from Earth. small and up to the star near that its motion around its orbit in 8 hours is completing. So on this planet named GJ 367 b 1 year, only 8 hours progress. GJ 367 b has only the mass of the Earth. Half and a little bit from Mars with a diameter of 5,500 miles bigger was determined to be. This is more than most exoplanets ever discovered. smaller showed that. Kristine Lam, lead author of the study, “The radius and mass of definitely determination of GJ 367 b as a rocky planet. our classification provided.” said. Stating that it has similarities with Mercury, Lam said that the new planet can be placed between terrestrial planets and ‘a second world’ search for research would help expressed.
However, although it has similarities with Earth, there is life here. not possible. Because the surface temperature on this planet is almost able to evaporate iron as high. The star of the planet, more than the sun small and more cold but because the distance between them is so short the temperature of the planet It can reach up to 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit (1482 Celsius). Researchers believe the planet is so hot that its entire outer layer, called the outer mantle, lost explains it as possible.
