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.
WASP-12b is a hot Jupiter [6] (a class of extrasolar planets) orbiting the star WASP-12, discovered in April of 2008, by the SuperWASP planetary transit survey. [7] [1] The planet takes only a little over one Earth day to orbit its star, in contrast to about 365.25 days for the Earth to orbit the Sun.
The surface temperature is 10,170 K (9,897 °C; 17,846 °F), unusually hot for a star with a transiting planet. Prior to the discovery of KELT-9b, only six A-type stars were known to have planets, of which the warmest, WASP-33 , is significantly cooler at 7,430 K (7,157 °C; 12,914 °F); no B-type stars were previously known to host planets.
The exoplanet LTT 9779b is far more massive than our own world, and the world is nearly five times larger. Temperatures on its surface put Venus — the hottest planet in our solar system — to ...
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. From June 2023 through ...
The record is all but certainly the warmest temperature the planet has seen in at least 100,000 years. ... Sunday was the hottest day in recorded history, according to preliminary data from a ...
Hottest non-compact star with a planet NSVS 14256825 b: NSVS 14256825: 40 000 K (primary) [107] NN Serpentis is hotter, with a temperature of 57 000 K for the primary star, [1] but the existence of its planets is disputed. [108] A candidate planet was found around the O-type subdwarf TOI-709, whose effective temperature is higher at 50,000 K. [109]
The warmest day on record for the entire planet was 22 July 2024 when the highest global average temperature was recorded at 17.16 °C (62.89 °F). [20] The previous record was 17.09 °C (62.76 °F) set the day before on 21 July 2024. [20] The month of July 2023 was the hottest month on record globally. [21]
