Start with a planet hitting the earth
Chapter 13: Planets separated from their stars still have temperature?
"Oh, this planet doesn't orbit a star, so no wonder it feels weird."
"I remember that planets that do not orbit stars, but drift outside, are called rogue planets, and rogue planets are also called orphan planets."
Chen Yuan said: "This is the first time I have seen an orphan planet..."
"No, wait a minute? If you say that, am I not an orphan planet now?"
Chen Yuan was a little depressed to find that he was also an orphan planet.
Rogue planets, roughly speaking, are planets that do not orbit their stars.
They were originally orbiting their own stars, but due to certain factors, they broke away from the gravity of their original stars, which caused them to fly into interstellar space.
It becomes a rogue planet that meets the conditions of a planet but has no star to orbit.
Chen Yuan didn't want to think too much. He controlled his body and approached the wandering planet.
In a vacuum, due to the effect of inertia, the speed of the planets is very average.
This rogue planet is no exception.
Its speed is naturally not as fast as Chen Yuan's.
Chen Yuan followed the wandering planet and got closer.
This contact is from behind the wandering planets, so that they will not collide with each other.
When he was about to make contact, he controlled his speed.
While maintaining as fast as possible, Chen Yuan came into contact with the rogue planet.
"Swallow."
The entire wandering planet turned into golden light, and the golden light sank into Chen Yuan's body and was absorbed by Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan's body seemed to have turned into golden light, and the golden light was slowly getting bigger.
Wait for the golden light to recede.
Chen Yuan found that his body had become like most gas giant planets. It had a rock structure on the inside, but on the outside, the rock was wrapped in thick gas.
Now Chen Yuan looks like a gas giant planet.
Chen Yuan looked at his appearance.
"The size is much larger, but with this size alone, it is basically impossible to swallow Jupiter or become a star. It seems that we have to continue interstellar travel and continue to find prey."
Chen Yuan used his spiritual consciousness to control his body and continue to fly towards the brightest point of light ahead.
"The universe is really spacious."
Although Chen Yuan's speed has not yet reached the speed of light, it is already very fast.
At this speed, flying in the universe for a long time, only one planet was discovered.
It can be seen how spacious this universe is.
At this time, through his perception ability, Chen Yuan discovered that there was a planet within the range he could see.
Chen Yuan's heart moved when he saw the planet.
Although Chen Yuan is still far away from the planet now, he can still observe the size and mass of the planet through his perception ability.
It was a huge gas giant.
The volume is even larger than Jupiter.
"Depressed."
It is larger than Jupiter, which means that it is basically impossible to swallow it.
"Forget it, it's just idle time. Let's see what this thing is."
The ability to sense is submerged in that wandering planet.
After entering the wandering planet.
Chen Yuan discovered that this rogue planet has a very thick atmosphere.
Jupiter within the sun has the largest atmosphere in the entire solar system.
But the atmosphere of the rogue planet in front of me is even more exaggerated and larger than that of Jupiter.
Most of the planets surrounding the solar system are affected by the solar wind and the gravitational pull of other planets, causing the atmosphere to be reduced or weakened.
The rogue planet is different. It has no star to orbit and no other gravitational pull around it, so it can better protect its atmosphere.
After looking around, as a person with only a superficial understanding of astronomy, Chen Yuan couldn't see anything strange.
Take back the ability of perception and bid farewell to that huge wandering planet.
Chen Yuan continues on his journey.
Just down the road.
Chen Yuan encountered another wandering planet.
This rogue planet broke through Chen Yuan's understanding of the universe.
This is a rocky planet as big as the Earth.
This rogue planet has a very thick atmosphere.
Thicker than the atmosphere of Venus.
"With such a thick atmosphere, if it were in the same position as Venus, it would probably turn into a hell on earth. However, in this interstellar space, it would probably be similar. Instead of turning into a hell on earth with high temperature and pressure, it would probably become a hell on earth. It’s an extremely cold purgatory.”
But when Chen Yuan's perception ability passed through the atmosphere and entered inside, everything he could feel made him a little confused.
The imagined extreme cold purgatory did not appear.
After entering the atmosphere.
Through his perception ability, Chen Yuan discovered that the surface of this rocky planet was actually warm.
"What's going on? There's obviously no light and no stars nearby, so how can it be warm?"
This made Chen Yuan a little baffled.
Most people believe that when a planet moves away from its star, its temperature will approach absolute zero.
But rogue planets can retain very thick atmospheres.
The radioactive isotopes formed in the cores of rogue planets decay and generate geothermal heat.
After this geothermal heat reaches the outer periphery, it is blocked by the atmosphere and remains within the planet.
Over time, the heat left in the planet can reach a certain value.
Although Chen Yuan was exposed to some astronomy, he only knew a little bit about it. He didn't understand the rogue planets.
"Forget it, no matter what the situation is, just swallow it first."
It's rare to find a planet smaller than itself. It would be a pity not to swallow it.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan approached the wandering planet.
"Swallow it."
The wandering planet turned into golden light and sank into Chen Yuan's body.
Chen Yuan's size became slightly larger, but of course it was still much smaller than Jupiter.
After he swallowed it, he continued to fly forward.
On the way, Chen Yuan encountered some wandering planets again. He let the big ones go and swallowed the small ones.
Time passed quickly.
Chen Yuan didn't know how long he had been flying.
Finally, he arrived at his destination.
'Looking' at the star in front of him.
Chen Yuan was stunned.
"What kind of star is this? Is it so big?"
What appeared in front of Chen Yuan's 'eyes' was a huge star.
This volume is nearly twice that of the sun, and the light it emits is blue-white!
It looks very bright.
No wonder it was so bright before, it turned out to be like this.
Sirius, also known as Alpha Canis Majoris A.
It is located in the constellation Canis Major. If you look at it from Earth, it is the brightest star in the sky besides the sun.
From Earth, its brightness is lower than Venus and Jupiter, and most of the time it is brighter than Mars.
Because it is the brightest star, it has been recorded in various ancient civilizations on Earth.
"It is so bright and so big."
"But fortunately, I am not here to look for it. I have no appetite for this thing."
"I wonder what the size of the planets near it is. Let me take a look."
