SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Hot Jupiters are giant planets that orbit very close to their host star, typically less than one-tenth the distance between Earth and the Sun. They are found in about 1 percent of systems. Since their initial discovery in the 1990s, astronomers have wondered how these strange planets got to where they are today.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hot Jupiters are gas giant planets with orbital period less than 10 days. The short period means that hot Jupiters are very close to their host stars, usually less than 0.1 AU, one tenth of the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -The more massive an object gets, the closer it pulls the center of mass. Normally, as stars are much more massive than the other planets in the system, the center is within the star, but not at its center. This is evident in the wobbly motion of the stars.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hot Jupiters are gas giants, in some ways similar to our own Jupiter in terms of mass and size, but with far higher temperatures.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hot Jupiters are gas giants that orbit close to their star, typically in less than 10 days.
