EURA UNIVERSE PLANET TYPES (PART 4)

Gas Giants

Gas Giants are large planets that have very thick atmospheres that make up most of their mass and size.  Most of their cores are either super dense liquid goey versions of hydrogen, helium, ammonia or other gases.  Or a big rocky core.  Most of them have multiple cloud layers.  Life forms found on these worlds are sky whales, forms of sky plankton, plants that use balloons, animals that use balloons to float.

Gas Super Giants

They are nearly big enough to become a brown dwarf.  They are super pressured at the centre.  Normally have solid cores of hydrogen, helium and other gases.  And maybe a rocky core below that.  Has lots of cloud layers and sometimes have very humungous ring systems like J1407b.

 

Hot Jupiters

Hot Jupiters are gas giants, or gas super giants that are very close to their star.  Some of them are boiling away, others are somewhat of a stable area and their atmosphere is not boiling away.  They will eventually evolve into a class called a Burning Core.

Burning Core Worlds

If a hot Jupiter is a bit too close to a star and it’s atmosphere boils away it eventually gets left with a Burning Core World.  The surface is covered in lava and volcanos.  If the star cools down later in life it can become a Mercurian Class World or if the hot Jupiter boils away in a younger solar system it could migrate and become a whole variety of types of worlds.
