Strange Exoplanet Has Ocean 500 Times Deeper Than Earth's

Strange Exoplanet Has Ocean 500 Times Deeper Than Earth's Subscribe to Science Time:    / sciencetime24   A team led by researchers at the University of Montreal has found evidence that two exoplanets orbiting a red dwarf star are "water worlds," where water makes up a large fraction of the entire planet. These worlds, located in a planetary system 218 light-years away in the constellation Lyra, are unlike any planet found in our solar system. Like the Earth, this exoplanet has an interior composed of metals and rocks but Kepler-138 d also has liquid water deep inside the planet .It's water layers make up more than 50% of its volume, or a depth of about 1,243 miles or 2,000 kilometers. The Earth, in comparison, has a negligible fraction of liquid water with an average ocean depth of less than 2.5 miles or 4 kilometers. #science #shorts #space
