This is a planet where a year lasts just eighteen hours, and surface temperatures can reach up to four thousand degrees Celsius - hotter than the surface of the sun. that's why planet 55 Cancri e is nicknamed the hell planet due to its very short orbital time of 18 hours, it has no days, it is tidally locked to its star meaning that its orbital period matches its rotational one.
But the heat isn't the only terrifying aspect of this planet. It's the composition of 55 Cancri e that truly sets it apart. This world is made almost entirely of carbon, much of it in the form of diamond. Yes, you heard it right. A diamond planet, sparkling in the darkness of space.
