Planets Stars and Gas – Wednesday 21st June 2023

Looking at the exoplanet orbiting close to a star that’s leaking its atmosphere. Thinking on it, it’s actually a sensible thing for the atmosphere to leak away and seemingly, in a safe and orderly fashion.
If something untoward was to occur, ie., a major jolt from the atmosphere and the combination of gases therein, as it gets closer to the star, the planet could possibly get bounced away from the star. The star doesn’t want the atmosphere and the planet doesn’t need it, so it really does seem a perfect and safe solution for this planets’ atmosphere to leak away just so, and it would appear that the star is shooing the gas away via solar wind.
As well as the particles that our sun sends out, I do think that this also keeps any gas from building up in our solar system. I get a sense that this activity is widespread throughout all the galaxies because so much gas is produced by stars and planets and of course surface life produces lots of gas as well. I suspect it’s something that is closely monitored, (gases), and solar winds are just the thing.

I had a thought recently, if our atmosphere was to temporarily fill with a thick dust, I thought, Earth would look a little like Jupiter.
