Water world exoplanet. Artwork of an exoplanet with a global ocean and clouds in its atmosphere. Such 'water world' planets contain proportionately more water than planets like Earth. If the planet is larger than Earth,this can lead to differences in the internal structure. Such planets (around ten times the mass of Earth) would form a layer of ice between the upper ocean layer and the internal rock and magma layers. For this planet with a cutaway section showing its internal structure,see C013/0500. A possible example would be a super-Earth like Gliese 876 d or Gliese 1214b. This artwork can also represent smaller water worlds | |
