Thus, the Sun occupies 0.00001% (1 part in 10 7) of the volume of a sphere with a radius the size of Earth's orbit, whereas Earth's volume is roughly 1 millionth (10 −6) that of the Sun. Jupiter, the largest planet, is 5.2 AU from the Sun and has a radius of 71,000 km (0.00047 AU; 44,000 mi), whereas the most distant planet, Neptune, is 30 AU ...

Sedna (minor-planet designation: 90377 Sedna) is a dwarf planet in the outermost reaches of the Solar System, orbiting the Sun far beyond the orbit of Neptune.Discovered in 2003, the frigid planetoid is one of the reddest known among Solar System bodies.
The Surya Siddhanta (IAST: Sūrya Siddhānta; lit. ' Sun Treatise ' ) is a Sanskrit treatise in Indian astronomy dated to 4th to 5th century, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] in fourteen chapters. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The Surya Siddhanta describes rules to calculate the motions of various planets and the moon relative to various constellations , diameters of various ...
The planet absorbs the radiation that isn't reflected by the albedo, and heats up. One may assume that the planet radiates energy like a blackbody at some temperature according to the Stefan–Boltzmann law. Thermal equilibrium exists when the power supplied by the star is equal to the power emitted by the planet.
In 2014, a magnetic field around HD 209458 b was inferred from the way hydrogen was evaporating from the planet. [ 20 ] [ 21 ] In 2019, the strength of the surface magnetic fields of 4 hot Jupiters were estimated and ranged between 20 and 120 gauss compared to Jupiter's surface magnetic field of 4.3 gauss.
