A Planet That Shouldn't Exist : Kepler 78b | #shorts Topic :- Imagine a planet that's so close to its star that its surface is hotter than lava, where a year lasts less than 9 hours and where the gravity is so strong that everything is squished and flattened. Welcome to Kepler-78b, one of the most extreme planets ever discovered. Kepler-78b is a small planet, just slightly larger than Earth, but it orbits its star at such a close distance that it completes one orbit in less than 9 hours. Due to its proximity to the star, the temperature on Kepler-78b can reach up to 5,000 degrees Celsius, hotter than the surface of some stars. But that's not all - the gravity on Kepler-78b is also incredibly strong, about 2.3 times stronger than Earth's gravity. Scientists are still trying to understand how a planet like Kepler-78b could even exist, given its extreme conditions. other tags :- kepler 78b, kepler 78b mystery, about kepler planet, planet kepler 78b, kepler 22b, kepler 186f, kepler planet, kepler 442b, solar system, kepler, Nasa, Planet, Exoplanet, Space, Universe, Astronomy, #keplerplanet #plants #exoplanets #space #universe #astronomy #youtubeshorts
