Top 5 Strangest Planets in Known Universe #StrangePlanets

The Universe consists of anything, anywhere, but sometimes things get too messed up and some very unusual things start to form, so here they are, the top 5 strangest planets in the whole Universe.

1. TrEs-2b
   TrEs- 2b is an exoplanet a little larger than Jupiter, and it is known to be the darkest planet ever in the known Universe. It is 750 light years away from earth, scientists say that it reflects less than 1% of light that is given from its parent star. Not only this, but it also glows in a deep red color. Why? Because its surface temperature is a scorching 1,110 degrees Celsius.

2. 55 Cancri E
   This planet is twice the size of earth and it is known to have dense carbon when it formed. It is 40 light years away from Earth and the carbon in it just got compressed into solid diamond. If you were to take all the diamonds from it, this will overwhelm the diamond facilities, making diamonds completely worthless.

3. Gliese 436b
   This planet is about the size of Neptune and it is a gigantic ball of ice, on fire. You may be wondering, how is this possible? Its very dense core pulls the evaporated water down and it becomes hard because of so much pressure that it changes into solid ice. It burns at a temperature of a scorching 436 degrees.

4. Wasp 12b
   Wasp 12b is a planet that is 11 times the mass of Jupiter, it is also known as a hot Jupiter, it is orbiting its parent star very quickly because it is slowly getting eaten up by its red giant star. It is not spherical, but an egg like shape because of its hungry star.

5. Kepler 438 b
   This planet, discovered by the Kepler Space Observatory is most likely to have life, it is a rocky world, just like the earth, In the Earth similarity index, it holds an impressive 0.88.
   This planet is also located in the “Goldilocks Zone”, it is predicted to possibly support alien life, which needs liquid water, which can be found only in the goldilocks zone.

So, these are all the top 5 strangest planets in the known universe. Hope I helped you guys in understanding universe in detail. Keep Steeming Friends!
