A recent US study revealed that hot, rocky exoplanets may retain a thick, water-filled atmosphere that could aid in the search for habitable worlds.
The study, whose results were published in the British Daily Mail newspaper, indicated that researchers from the University of Chicago and Stanford University created computer models to explore the ways in which hot and rocky worlds could cling to their atmosphere for a long time.
The study showed that thousands of exoplanets with hot molten surfaces were discovered that were covered with a cover of hydrogen, making them appear slightly smaller than Neptune.
The study indicated that instead of being arid, many hot, rocky worlds could have an atmosphere dominated by water for a very long time, and magma absorbs hydrogen from the early atmosphere and interacts together to form water and then escapes to form an atmosphere of water vapor.
