Including Venus: The Top 10 Most Unlivable Places in the Universe

Jakarta

Many future projects are researched in outer space as a substitute for Earth. There’s been a lot of speculation planet-planet which are similar to those of Earth. On the other hand, there are also various places in the universe that are not habitable.

Some of these places even have heat that can be very burning to lethal radiation.

This opposite condition to Earth is proof that Earth has become the only place in the universe that is fit for habitation.

As for uninhabitable places in the universe, the following list is quoted from Popular Science.

The 10 Most Uninhabitable Places

1. Venus

The planet Venus is very close to Earth between 24 and 162 million miles away. Before the 10th century, scientists thought Venus could be home to human life.

Physicist Steve Tufte says that this planet matches Dante’s vision of hell. Venus is the planet with the most volcanoes in the solar system and most of its surface is covered in lava.

The pressure on the planet’s surface is equivalent to being more than 800 meters underwater. The average temperature of this planet can reach around 456 degrees Celsius. The planet is also surrounded by thick clouds of sulfuric acid and its atmosphere consists of 96% carbon dioxide.

2. COROT-7b

COROT-7b is planet extrasolar that is very close to its star. It is known that this location is 489 light years away from Earth. The size itself is 1.5 times larger than Earth.

The surface temperature of this planet can reach 2,526 degrees Celsius. Its proximity to its star causes this planet to only have a year equivalent to 20 hours on Earth. The surface is a friendly mixture of volcanoes, lava and rocks.

3. Tres-2b

This planet has a distance of 750 light years from Earth and is often nicknamed the devil planet. Studies don’t reveal much information about this planet. One of the facts revealed is that Tres-2b is the darkest exoplanet.

It is known that darkness on this planet is blacker than coal and it reflects less than 1 percent of light.

Astronomers don’t yet know what causes the darkening of this planet. Even though it is dark, the surface temperature of this planet can reach 981 degrees Celsius.

4. Wasp-12b

The distance between this planet and Earth is 1,100 light years from Earth and is slowly being pulled by its star.

It orbits so closely that tidal forces pull its upper atmosphere at a rate of nearly 200 quadrillion tons every year and turn it into a ball of superhot carbon.

Scientists suspect that this planet contains rocks made of graphite or even diamonds.

5. Kepler-16b

It is a cold gas giant planet 200 light years away from our solar system. This planet orbits two stars. The temperature of this planet is so cold that it cannot support human life, which can reach minus 84 degrees Celsius.

6. Kepler-10b

This planet is 560 light years away from Earth. The surface temperature of this planet can reach 1,537 degrees Celsius and it orbits its star every 20 hours.

This planet is also called rocky super-Earth because it is 1.4 times the size of Earth and almost five times denser. It is thought that this planet has a surface of molten lava hot enough to melt iron.

7. CFBDSIR2149

CFBDSIR2149 was discovered in late 2012 and is 100 light years away. The debate for the definition to include this planet in a star or planet has occurred among scientists. The surface temperature of this planet can reach 426 degrees Celsius.

8. Kepler 7-b

Also known as Styrofoam planet, it is a hot ball of hydrogen and helium about 1.5 times the size of Jupiter but less than half the mass.

This planet has an albedo of 0.38 which means it reflects a lot of light. The surface temperature of this planet can reach 1,537 degrees Celsius.

9. Kepler-13b

According to NASA planetary scientist James Lissauer, living on this planet is like walking through a furnace.

The layers of this planet consist of layers of hot gas that swirl violently and cause its average temperature to reach 2,983 degrees Celsius and make this planet the hottest exoplanet.

10. HD 189773b

This planet is 63 light years away and looks similar to Earth. However, the surface temperature can reach 1,005 degrees Celsius and there is glass rain.

The blue color on the planet comes from silicate particles in the atmosphere planet. Glass grains will fly around the planet at a speed of 14,400 km / hour.
