Summary

The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/exoplanet" class="extiw" title="en:exoplanet">exoplanet</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corot-7b" class="extiw" title="en:Corot-7b">Corot-7b</a> is so close to its <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sun" title="Sun">Sun</a>-like host <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Star" title="Star">star</a> that it must experience extreme conditions. This planet has a mass five times that of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Earth" title="Earth">Earth</a>’s and is in fact the closest known exoplanet to its host star, which also makes it the fastest — it orbits its star at a speed of more than 750 000 kilometres per hour. The probable temperature on its “day-face” is above 2000 degrees, but minus 200 degrees on its night face. Theoretical models suggest that the planet may have lava or boiling oceans on its surface.
