Top 10 Strangest Planets Ever Seen!

top 10 strangest planets in the known universe number 10 j1407b super Saturn the planet j1407b has been referred to as a super Saturn due to its massive system of circumplanetary rings about 640 times the one of Saturn's rings it's located 434 light years from Earth if this planet swap places with Saturn its rings would dominate the earth's sky and would appear many times larger than a full moon number nine GJ 1214b the Water World this planet is the most likely known candidate for being an ocean planet GJ 1214b has no land but only oceans that stretch all over the surface it is an incredibly large World possibly the size of Neptune and it is located in the constellation of the ukus the atmosphere of gj-1214b is composed mainly of hydrogen helium and water vapor and it is thought to have temperatures that range from 230 to 500 degrees Celsius this means that the planet is likely to have a steamy atmosphere and is unlikely to be able to support life in any form number eight gj436b a planet defying the laws of physics gj436b is an exoplanet located 30 light years from Earth in the constellation of Leo and seems to defy the laws of physics this planet orbits its star at distance 15 times closer than Mercury is to the sun and the icy surface is roasting at a temperature of 439 degrees Celsius 822 degrees Fahrenheit so how does ice of all things remain completely solid at 439 degrees above its melting point because the gravity is so incredibly strong that it compresses the Trace Amounts of water vapor in the planet's atmosphere into solid ice and prevents it from melting no matter how much it burns number seven wasp 12b a planet that's eating up light was 12b is one of the darkest non-exoplanets in the universe the day side of the planet eats light rather than reflects it into space the exoplanet which is twice the size of Jupiter has the unique capability to trap at least 94 percent of the visible Starlight falling into its atmosphere the temperature of the atmosphere is exceeding 4600 degrees Fahrenheit 8312 degrees Celsius the day side Hoards all the visible light because it always faces its star the planet orbits so close to its host that it is fixed day and night sides was 12b completes in orbit once a day the night side is much cooler with temperatures roughly 2 200 degrees Fahrenheit 3992 degrees Celsius which allows water vapor and clouds to form a swirl of material from the planet's superheated atmosphere is spilling onto its star number six hd189733b where it rains glass hd189773b is slightly larger than Jupiter in our solar system and is located about 62 light years away from Earth the most frightening thing about this planet is that it literally rains glass sideways along with unbearably fast winds if this exact storm Were Somehow to occur at the equator on Earth it would travel all the way around the Earth in just a mere five and a half hours number five psrj 1719 1483b orbits around a pulsar this planet orbits a pulsar or extremely Compact and dense neutron star that is about the size of a large city this one has a diameter of 12 miles 19 kilometers but its mass is 1.4 times the mass of the Sun pulsars rotate quickly therefore this planet has an orbital period of two hours number four hat p7b where it rains rubies and sapphires hat p7b is located in the cygnus constellation about 1 000 light years away from Earth on the night side of this exoplanet High precipitation of aluminum oxide corundum is found in the atmosphere because corundum gems are rubies and sapphires one can describe the hypothetical weather on the planet's night side as reigning rubies and sapphires the planet also suffers from violent storms so it's likely that these rubies and sapphires are scattered Planet wide number three concrete E A Diamond Planet 5 cancri e is only about 40 light years away from us in the cancer constellation it is twice the size of Earth but is nearly eight times more massive and twice as dense the parent star has much more carbon than our own sun and the mass of the planet is thought to be largely carbon due to the pressure and average maximum surface temperature of 4417 degrees Fahrenheit 2400 degrees Celsius this super Earth is believed to be covered with diamonds it is so close to its parent star it takes a mere 18 hours for the planet to complete a full orbit number two Trace 2B darker than coal the planet has been identified in 2011 as the darkest known exoplanet reflecting less than one percent of any light that hits it less than coal for example and the light reflected is dimly red which gives the planet an evil red color number one hd106906 its formation remains a mystery hd106906b is an exoplanet located 300 light years from Earth in the constellation of Crocs it orbits its star at a distance of 60 billion miles approximately 96 billion kilometers which is 20 times the distance between the Sun and Neptune it is estimated to be about 11 times the mass of Jupiter and it is unknown how this planet formed or how it came to have such a distant orbit from its star it takes approximately 14 000 years to complete a single orbit thanks for watching see you next time
