There are many planets and asteroids in the solar system, and each planet has its own role. For example, the earth's satellite moon can illuminate us with some light at night. Today I will reveal to you the volcanic exomoon discovered near the planet called Wasp 49-B.
Wasp 49-B
Wasp 49-B is a gas giant planet orbiting a G-type star. Its mass is 0.37 Jupiter , and it takes 2.8 days to orbit the star. It is 0.0379 AU from its star.
Some details revealed about Wasp 49-B: Wasp 49-B comes from a planet in our own solar system. Some people think it is a " Jupiter-like planet ". To a certain extent, it is, because it It is a gas giant planet similar in color to Jupiter. But in fact, Jupiter has huge differences. For example, Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun, its AU unit is much higher than that of Wasp 49-B, and Jupiter's orbital speed is much more than one year, not 3 days. Besides that Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Taken together, it seems that only its appearance is similar to Jupiter.
Wasp 49-B is a dangerous planet. Why do you say this way? Because it is a "volcanic world". It has molten lava on its surface and is a lunar version of a close-up super-Earth similar to 55 Cancri e. These are formed because of the tidal force .
Tidal forces are how certain planets and moons become "tidally locked" to the stars they orbit. For example: half of the earth always faces the sun, and half faces away from the sun. Usually in this case, the temperature is usually very high and usually very low. But in this case the moon produces tides influenced by the Earth, which keeps the volcanoes active. Similarly, Wasp 49-B also has tidal properties similar to those mentioned above, making it a "volcanic world" - a planet that may erupt at any time.
The planets in the universe are spectacular and magical. Before we discovered it, many things seemed impossible to exist. But in the progress of science, we discover all kinds of magical things that make us grow tremendously.
