Sudarsky's classification of gas giants for the purpose of predicting their appearance based on their temperature was outlined by David Sudarsky and colleagues in the paper Albedo and Reflection Spectra of Extrasolar Giant Planets [1] and expanded on in Theoretical Spectra and Atmospheres of Extrasolar Giant Planets, [2] published before any successful direct or indirect observation of an ...
A gas giant is a giant planet composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. [1] Jupiter and Saturn are the gas giants of the Solar System . The term "gas giant" was originally synonymous with " giant planet ".
[55] [56] [57] Sodium and water vapour has also been observed in the atmosphere of HD 189733 b, [58] [59] another hot gas giant planet. In October 2013, the detection of clouds in the atmosphere of Kepler-7b was announced, [ 60 ] [ 61 ] and, in December 2013, also in the atmospheres of Gliese 436 b and Gliese 1214 b .
Astronomers have identified a planet that’s bigger than Jupiter yet surprisingly as fluffy and light as cotton candy. The gas giants in our solar system — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune ...
While no scientist has stated to believe GJ 1214 b is an ocean planet, if GJ 1214 b is assumed to be an ocean planet, [21] i.e. the interior is assumed to be composed primarily of a water core surrounded by more water, proportions of the total mass consistent with the mass and radius are about 25% rock and 75% water, covered by a thick envelope ...
Located in the Kepler-90 System with eight known exoplanets, whose architecture is similar to that of the Solar System, with rocky planets being closer to Kepler-90 and gas giants being more distant. This largest, most massive and outermost planet orbits every ~331.6 days at a separation of 1.01 AU which is within the habitable zone of Kepler ...
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System.It is a gas giant with a mass more than 2.5 times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined and slightly less than one-thousandth the mass of the Sun.
