Chthonian Planets - What/Why/How - Universe Sandbox 2

Hello and welcome to What Da Math!

In this video, we will talk about the idea of a Chtonian planet and I will explain what it means and why they are important.

"Chthonian Stars" can exist. Basically another star steals its partner's matter leaving a smaller husk, though massive by planet standards. Kinda like a reverse brown dwarf. They don't easily fit into star or planet classifications. Their compositions can differ from how the Star was originally: main sequence, neutron star, or white dwarf. How their chemical compositions and how much matter was stolen. An odd occurrence can happen when these Chthonian stars are more massive then some red dwarfs. They are understandably rare.

By far my favorite Channel on YouTube! Keep it up Anton love your vids!

[Ovalaardvark]

this is likely Common for most super-earth origins

Thanks for making awesome space videos they are awesome

[zalalababa]

Wow amazing video you deserve more subscribers

I wrote a little project abut these type of planets. It's fascinating, how many different things are out there.

Could you do a Mercury as a small gas giant experiment? I think it might be a chthonian planet. It would explain it's weird orbit, why Earth collided with Thea, and why Venus has a retrograde spin.

That was cool.
Future Humans might be able to do this.

5:11 Why did the orbit suddenly change? Was that a floating point error?

Wouldn't the inner rocky planets be chthonian? When the solar system first fired up I am sure there was a lot thicker atmosphere for all four of them, and then the first solar winds would blow them away. This is prior to the magnetic field induced by Theia colliding into the Earth.

Very interesting video. I had to keep the volume very low due to the harshness of the sound, would a better microphone solve this?

[matiasalloatti]

Why is the water still there? Shouldn't it be evaporated from the heat and blown away by the star while the planet was close in the first place?
Thank you for this awesome channel. Your videos always make me read astronomy papers and I studied genetics, keep the great job and greetings from Argentina and sorry if the question was too stupid!!!

[amazingreboot]

i know that there is a theory that many Exo-moons of gas giants may support life. Could you do a video on that?

[notenoughpaper]

i realy enjoy your videos, and im wondering about the name of your intro song

[AveryFB]

If one did exist how would it be any different than a normal planet? The composition of the planet?

[optm]

you're awesome liked and subbed :)

[Luredreier]

Hum, why always so "boring" and circular orbits?
What about a gas giant moving in close to its parent star and then out again in a way that on average leaves it with roughly the same conditions as the green zone?
Remember it takes longer time on the part of the orbit that's further away from its star then the part that's up close.

Anyway, could possibly life evolve on such a planet?
And could it go close enough to the star to lose it's atmosphere (eventually)?

[RidleySorrey]

In the materials tab, Im missing some information, there is no organics and other stuff isnt in there aswell... why is that?

Thanks bros and anton nice video as always!

[michaelmiller]

Thought it said "Cthonian" (Cthulu) Planets

[wreynegalang]

Go To Eagle nebula YOU can see Uy scuti
