The Hottest Planet Ever Discovered Will Melt Metal #facts #cosmicexploration This short explores one of the most extreme worlds ever discovered — WASP-12b, one of the hottest planets known to science. With daytime temperatures exceeding 4,600 degrees Fahrenheit, this massive exoplanet orbits dangerously close to its star, completing a full orbit in less than one Earth day. The intense heat is so extreme that metals can vaporize, and the planet’s atmosphere is actively being stripped away into space. Astronomers study planets like WASP-12b to understand how planetary systems evolve, how extreme heat affects atmospheres, and how some worlds don’t explode — but slowly disappear over time. This video breaks down the science behind the hottest planet ever discovered, why it’s so extreme, and what it teaches us about the limits of planetary survival in the universe. #Space #Astronomy #Universe #NASA #Exoplanet #WASP12b #SpaceFacts #ScienceShorts #DeepSpace #Astrophysics #CosmicMysteries #YouTubeShorts
