This is a list of the hottest exoplanets so far discovered, specifically those with temperatures greater than 2,500 K (2,230 °C; 4,040 °F) for exoplanets irradiated by a nearby star and greater than 2,000 K (1,730 °C; 3,140 °F) for self-luminous exoplanets.
The planet orbits a star similar to the Sun, named Kepler-37, orbited by a total of four planets. The star has a mass of 0.80 M ☉ and a radius of 0.79 R ☉. It has a temperature of, 5417 K and is 5.66 billion years old. In comparison, the Sun is 4.6 billion years old, [8] and has a temperature of 5778 K. [9]
Hottest non-compact star with a planet NSVS 14256825 b: NSVS 14256825: 40 000 K (primary) [108] NN Serpentis is hotter, with a temperature of 57 000 K for the primary star, [1] but the existence of its planets is disputed. [109] A candidate planet was found around the O-type subdwarf TOI-709, whose effective temperature is higher at 50,000 K. [110]

The best available theory of planet formation is the nebular hypothesis, which posits that an interstellar cloud collapses out of a nebula to create a young protostar orbited by a protoplanetary disk. There are eight planets within the Solar System; planets outside of the solar system are also known as exoplanets.
The planet’s 10 hottest years since 1850 have all occurred in the past decade, according to NOAA. The new record comes as little surprise after a year beset by extremes.
