taniwha Posted June 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 9, 2017 This sounds more like a sun than a planet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stars (suns) generate heat by nuclear fusion at their core, planets do not. Since this planet is generating no heat of it's own and is hot only due to it's proximity to a star it sounds nothing like a star. Come on taniwha, this is pretty basic stuff even by your standards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highdesert50 Posted June 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Tidal locked and wondering about other parallels with mercury -- magnetic field yielding a weak atmosphere, large core. These extreme planets are interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
