The silicate and carbon-rich models of CoRoT-7b, Kepler-9d and Kepler-10b TEXT SIZE: A A A
Astronomers can learn about exoplanets by studying their motions and applying ideas about properties of materials. This article looks at three exoplanets and analyzes what they can be made of based on limits of density considerations. The results of this study can help astronomers better understand the compositions of exoplanets and provide a comparison with Earth.
