Hottest Planet Yet

This new planet that they found orbiting a star in the constellation Hercules may be the hottest planet yet. It is a gas planet and it is dense. The temperature of this planet is an astounding 3,700 degrees Fahrenheit. The planet is black and has a red spot in the center facing towards the sun.This happens because the planet absorbs most of the light that shines on it. The planet is about 279 light years-away.That's alot because one light-year is about 6 trillion Miles.For more information go to
