Gliese 436b

The burning ice planet

This planet is a real paradox, known for the so-called "hot ice." Although its surface temperature exceeds 400°C, the immense pressure from the core's gravity forces the water vapor to remain in a liquid state, leaving behind a huge tail of evaporating hydrogen, similar to a comet.

Temperature 439°C
Distance 33 light years
Earth radius 4.2 R⊕​
Danger level Extreme
