Water world exoplanet. Artwork of an exoplanet with a global ocean,with a cutaway section included to show its internal structure. Such 'water world' planets contain proportionately more water than planets like Earth. This can lead to differences in the internal structure,particular if the planet is larger than Earth. This water world has three layers (orange) of rock and magma: an inner and outer core and a mantle layer. Above these is a layer of highly pressurised ice (light blue),an upper water layer (dark blue),and a cloudy atmosphere. A possible example of this sort of water world would be a super-Earth like Gliese 876 d | |
