This video is in continuation with the previous “how big can a planet get”
series and if you haven’t watched that video then you must go checkout.
You’ll also find it in the i-button at the top right corner of this video.
This video is the second part of the series in which we are gonna discuss
the second question which is:-
What is the upper limit on how large a rocky planet can be?
Can it be as big as Jupiter?
Well, this is a contentious area in astronomy. Generally, it’s thought that
above 10 Earth masses and 1.6 times the Earth’s radius, a planet will become
a gas giant. Anything below this is a super-Earth, and smaller still are the
terrestrial planets the size of Earth, Mars, and so on.
