TOI-6713.01, however, senses 10 million times more tidal energy than Io, the new study found. "This is a terrestrial planet that I would describe as Io on steroids," Kane said in the statement.

In PDS 70, for example, it could be that these terrestrial planets lose some of the water that is readily available to them—relying on asteroids to later replenish it.

The idea is based on the climate model of planets, which estimates that while planets that lie outside of their star’s habitable zone can’t sustain enough water, some may be warm enough to ...

Back to Article List Nearest young Earth-sized planet could shed light on how terrestrial worlds evolve At just 400 million years old, HD 63433 d is a teenaged world circling a Sun-like star.

The researchers propose that if a terrestrial planet has substantially less carbon dioxide in its atmosphere compared to other planets in the same system, it could be a sign of liquid water -- and ...
