Super-Earths Could Contain Climates With Water Than Originally Thought

| By

Super-Earths could resemble planets with water climates such as planet Earth's more than originally thought Space.com reported Thursday.

The exo-planets usually exist in the Milky Way galaxy however scientists have thought the celestial bodies had water Space.com reported.

The new study says the super-earths keep the natural resource in their mantle or rock surface which comprises a planet's volume and mass opening up the possibility for continents and oceans to establish a livable climate like on planet Earth Space.com reported.

"The temperate climate on Earth is not just because of liquid water, but because of exposed continents," study researcher Nicolas Cowan of Northwestern University said in a statement Tuesday at the two-hundred and twenty-third meeting of the American Astronomical Society Space.com reported.

"We can put 80 times more water on a super-Earth and still have its surface look like Earth," Cowan said in a statement.

"I don't think 3-G is a big problem for habitability," Cowan told SPACE.com, adding, "fighter pilots can handle it," Cowan told Space.com. "Our model is a shot from the hip, but it's an important step in advancing how we think about super-Earths," Cowan told Space.com.

NASA's Hubble Telescope found extraterrestrial clouds on two exo-planet Friday Fox News reported. The space bodies go around a star other than the sun according to information from Observatoire de Paris.

The planets, Super earth, and Warm Neptune teach scientists how to group conditions similar to Earth, based on what they see Fox News reported.

Information from the telescope listed in the science journal Nature, also assisted Laura Kreidberg, and Jacob Bean from the University of Chicago in finding out more about surroundings on super-earth and warm neptune. They found that the clouds hover around the planets.

Super-Earth's with double the center are known to be 10 times the mass and 10 times gallons of water as planet Earth according to information on Space.com.
