Some exoplanets orbit their stars in just 10 hours

Some exoplanets are so close to their stars that they complete a full orbit in just 10 hours—faster than most planets rotate on their axes! These ultra-short-period planets experience extreme heat, tidal forces, and intense stellar radiation.

Such planets challenge our understanding of planet formation and stability, showing that the universe is full of strange, extreme worlds unlike anything in our solar system. Imagine a year lasting less than half a day—that’s life on these alien planets! 🌌🪐🔥
