Re: Plutoids and Rogue Planets, Titanformation process, a cold treasure?
This would be an interesting planet: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technolo … af58&ei=14
Quote: Ateam of researchers believes they have found the most convincing evidence to date for the existence of a hidden planet, which may be Planet Nine. According to a recent study, this planet, possibly located in the Kuiper Belt, is small, with a mass between 1.5 and 3 times that of Earth. "It could be an icy, rocky Earth, or a super-Pluto. Due to its large mass, it would have a great internal energy that could sustain, for example, subsurface oceans. Its orbit would be very distant, much beyond Neptune, and much more inclined compared to the known planets," Patryk Sofia Lykawka, associate professor of Planetary Sciences at Kindai University in Japan and co-author of the study, said according to El Tiempo.
Anything would be fun, but this might be a bit of a "Super Earth". I have been thinking of ice planets where the density of the planet may be so low that in spite of a large size the gravity on the surface might be close to that of Earth. But of course we would have to take it as it comes. I hope it has moons.
