Planet earth is amazing but we're bound by various things for example the laws of nature
gravity time and space this of course means that some things are simply not possible on earth
but if we go to other planets in our universe then these things can become possible from planets with
elements that don't even sound like they should exist two planets where superpowers are real
two shadows your shadow is something you likely don't think about very much your shadow is simply
an area of light which is blocked by your body on earth every single thing has one single shadow
that's because light is coming from one direction wherever the sun is
but what if a planet had more than one sun well that's the case with the planet kepler-16b
kepler-16b has two suns this means that if you were standing on it you would see your
shadow not once but twice some have called this planet the real-life tatooine from star wars
that's because that planet had two sons although the movie was not scientifically accurate as
people only had one shadow on the planet because kepler-16b orbits two suns it has two sunrises and
two sunsets every day if anyone actually did go to this planet then they would burn up in seconds
that's because it's 3037 celsius on the surface or 5500 degrees
raining glass nobody likes getting caught in the rain but at least you won't pass away from
a little bit of earth rain but if you got caught in the rain on the planet hd189773b then you'd
be done for that's because this planet literally rains glass not only does glass rain down from the
sky but it also happens sideways and it happens at speeds like you've never seen before the reason
why this happens is because the atmosphere is made of silicate particles extreme winds on the planet
can reach speeds of 5400 miles per hour that is seven times the speed of sound the temperature on
this planet is also around 940 degrees celsius but their glass storms are enough to wipe out anything
on this planet the glass travels at two kilometers per second if one of these glass storms hit earth
it would only take five hours and 33 minutes for the entire world to be covered in glass
flying if you could have any superpower you wanted what would you choose a lot of people would say
flying sadly on earth that's simply not possible without technology but that's not the case on
every planet in fact on a planet pretty near to earth you can fly the planet is called titan and
it's actually one of saturn's moons the atmosphere is very thick on titan this made it very difficult
for scientists to even see what the surface of the planet looked like we now know that it's
orangey rock with a yellow sky the planet also has rivers and lakes on it and it even has normal
water rain like we get on earth it's one of the coldest planets in our solar system the average
temperature is minus 180 degrees celsius however because of the cold temperatures and atmosphere
all of the liquid on this planet is made of liquid methane this means that titan is like one gigantic
ball of gas waiting to be tapped into it's thought all of the oil and gas on this planet would be
more than 1 000 saudi arabias and it's thought all of the oil and gas on this planet could be worth
more than a quadrillion dollars sometimes gas even rains down with water from the sky on this planet
this means that when space exploration is more common we'll likely go to this planet for oil
and whatever country gets there first will likely become the richest but how exactly can you fly
on titan well a mixture of the thick atmosphere and weak gravity means you're very light on this
planet that's right no matter how many donuts you've eaten you'll always be light on titan
so lied that if you had a paraglider you would be able to fly around even better if you bought
a wingsuit you could fly around this planet like a bird total darkness you may think it's
impossible to have total darkness after all on earth we always have at least one natural light
source when outside this is either the sun or the moon but on one planet you can experience
total darkness this is known as tres 2b it is the darkest planet in the entire universe
but so far scientists don't really know why it's so dark it reflects less than one percent
of all light there's a material on earth known as vantablack this is as similar to the planet as we
can get on earth but from the outside this planet does glow a molten red color that's
because the planet's simply so hot the surface of the planet is 1100 degrees celsius ice seven
most of the earth is water but water only accounts for 0.05 percent of earth's mass
but on the planet gj1214b things are much wetter more than 10 of this planet's mass is made of
water it's believed the ocean on this planet is a few hundred kilometers deep whereas the oceans
on earth only go down 11 kilometers the water at the bottom of this planet's ocean is compressed
that's because the pressure down there is so immense this makes a hot ice known as ice seven
raining rocks we've already seen one planet that rains glass but what about a planet that rains
fiery rocks you can experience this on the planet corot 7b the reason why is because only half of
this planet actually sees sunlight the half of the planet that sees its sun is 2600 degrees celsius
but the other half of the planet is only 177 degrees celsius on the hot side the heat dissolves
and vaporizes rocks these then evaporate and condense into clouds on the other side then liquid
rock and magma will rain down on the surface of this planet on the cool side this magma rain
will harden into hot rocks diamond planet you've heard the phrase diamonds are forever but on earth
that's simply not true in fact it's estimated that in 20 years our supply of diamonds will run out
but one planet this will never happen on is 5-5 cancri e that's because the entire planet is one
gigantic diamond it's twice the size of earth and two-thirds of it are made of diamond however the
planet is 40 light years away from earth but if we could get to this planet all diamonds would
become worthless that's because there would be way too much supply and nowhere near enough demand
so for now we may as well sit back and just admire this amazing diamond planet fastest wind
the planet hd189 has the fastest wind in the universe only one side of this planet actually
sees its sun the hot side is 966 degrees celsius but amazingly the cold side is still 688 degrees
celsius you may be wondering how is the cold side still so hot well it's all thanks to this
planet's winds the winds on this planet go at 22 000 miles per hour the fastest wind
on earth happened during a tornado in oklahoma that was a mere 301 miles per hour if you got
caught up in this wind then you could go all around the earth in one hour and eight minutes
but now it's time to make your voice heard comment below which was the most amazing planet
