How extreme is the climate of celestial bodies in the universe?

People usually like to talk about the weather, especially when the weather is bad. But please believe that the weather of other planets and stars will dwarf the earth.

First, let's go to Jupiter, 600 million kilometers away. Once there, you can see Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a high-pressure storm that has been raging for at least 400 years. Interestingly, this great red spot is restricted from moving from north to south because it is bound by the rapids above and below it. However, it can move freely from side to side between rapids.

The Great Red Spot is so big that it can easily accommodate three earths, accompanied by strong winds of 400 kilometers per hour. You must want to avoid this kind of thing, yes, it is you, the storm chaser. However, storms like hurricanes are a bit strong.

This planet is 63 light-years away from the Earth. It is considered to be a hot Jupiter, that is, it is about the same size as Jupiter, but its distance from its star is smaller than the distance from the Earth to the Sun. The temperature on this planet can be higher than 900 degrees Celsius, which can heat silicate particles in the atmosphere, thus causing molten glass rain.

However, rain may also occur in other parts of the universe, such as a protostar named HOPS-68 (the early stage of star formation). What is happening to this star can only be described as crystal rain. Small green crystals composed of minerals called olivine fall from the gas clouds around the stars.

For those who hate the sudden change of temperature overnight, here is a planet you decided not to visit. This is another HD.

Hot Jupiter of 80606b. Its temperature can be doubled in just 6 hours, from 500 degrees Celsius to 1200 degrees Celsius. This is because of its crazy elliptical orbit. This planet can orbit its star in only 1 1 day. When it is closest to the star, it receives 800 times as much light as when it is at the farthest position.

Imagine going out for a walk after watching this video. The sun is more than 800 times brighter than before. Not only will you be afraid, but you will also die of heat. Yes, this is science!
