A hot Neptune is a type of giant planet with a mass similar to that of Neptune or Uranus orbiting close to its star, normally within less than 1 AU. [1] The first hot Neptune to be discovered with certainty was Gliese 436 b (Awohali) in 2007, an exoplanet about 33 light years away.
3.6 TK, temperature at which matter doubles in mass (compared to its mass at 0 K) due to relativistic effects 5.5 TK, highest man-made temperature in thermal equilibrium as of 2015 ( quark–gluon plasma from LHC collisions) [ 12 ]
Kepler-56b (KOI-1241.02) [2] is a hot Neptune [1] —a class of exoplanets—located roughly 3,060 light-years (940 parsecs) away. It is somewhat larger than Neptune [ 3 ] and orbits its parent star Kepler-56 and was discovered in 2013 by the Kepler Space Telescope .
Jupiter and Neptune have ratios of power emitted to solar power received of 2.5 and 2.7, respectively. [27] Close correlation between the effective temperature and equilibrium temperature of Uranus can be taken as evidence that processes producing an internal flux are negligible on Uranus compared to the other giant planets.

Current research suggests that Mars is in a warm interglacial period which has lasted more than 100,000 years. [134] Because the Mars Global Surveyor was able to observe Mars for 4 Martian years, it was found that Martian weather was similar from year to year. Any differences were directly related to changes in the solar energy that reached Mars.
The idea would be to augment the natural greenhouse effect on Mars to raise its surface temperature by roughly 50 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius) over a span of a decade.
The Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Rankine scales were redefined in terms of the Kelvin scale using this definition. [ 2 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] The 2019 revision of the SI now defines the kelvin in terms of energy by setting the Boltzmann constant to exactly 1.380 649 × 10 −23 joules per kelvin ; [ 2 ] every 1 K change of thermodynamic temperature ...
Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus, which is 15 times the mass of Earth and slightly larger than Neptune. [ a ] Neptune orbits the Sun once every 164.8 years at an average distance of 30.1 astronomical units (4.50 × 10 9 km).
