Introduction To TRAPPIAST-1 System

The Trappist-1 system is similar to our solar system. Trap[pist-1 is basically a star just like our sun. Unlike our solar system, the Trappist-1 system has seven planets.  The planets of the Trappist-1 system include  Trappist-1b,  Trappist-1c,  Trappist-1d,  Trappist-1e,  Trappist-1f,  Trappist-1g and  Trappist-1h. The Trappist-1 system is very different from our solar system.

The planets orbiting the Trappist-1 star share almost similar densities, unlike the planets in our solar system.  There is no major difference in the densities of Trappist-1 planets and our solar system's inner planets. These Inner planets of our solar system include Earth, Venus and  Mars. 

The density difference between Trappist-1 and our inner planets may seem small but it is significant on a planetary scale.  Among seven planets orbiting the Trappist-1 star, Trappist-1e is most similar to our Earth. So, the following questions may arise in your mind. 1. Does TRAPPIST-e Have Oxygen?

2. Does TRAPPIST-1e Have Water?

3. TRAPPIST-1e Temperature.

4. TRAPPIST-1e Surface, Gravity and Moons.

5. How For Away Is TRAPPIST-1e.

Hold on we are giving the answers to these extraordinary questions.

1. Does TRAPPIST-e Have Oxygen?

According to the statement, the planet Trappist-1e lies at an appropriate distance from its star. At this distance, the planet Trappist-1e can keep itself warm enough to have liquid water on its surface. Thus the planet Trappist-1e can support life similar to our Earth. As there is the possibility of water on this planet, its host star radiation can break them into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen being the light can escape into outer space due to the low gravity of the Trappist-1e but there can be an envelope of oxygen on Trappist-1e.

2. Does TRAPPIST-1e Have Water?

Based on several years of observations, scientists found that the Trappist-1 system is located about 40 light years away from our Earth. An astonishing finding was that three out of seven planets of the Trappist-1 system lie in the Habitable Zone of their host star.

These three planets orbit closely to their host star which indicates that water may be present on the strange world for a long time. According to new research by an international team of astronomers. It all depends on the composition of the debris disk from which the planets formed and whether there were comets nearby to subsequently distribute the water.

3. TRAPPIST-1e Temperature.

The calculated equilibrium temperature of Trappist-1e is 246.1 K and the black body temperature is zero. The equilibrium temperature of Earth is 255 K and the black body temperature is similar to Trappist-1e. Moreover, this is not the real temperature of the Trappist-1e planet. As compared to Earth the temperature of the Trappist-1e is slightly low. This little high temperature of Earth is due to heat-trapping greenhouse gases of the Earth.

4. TRAPPIST-1e Surface, Gravity and Moons.

TRAPPIST-1e, also aka 2MASS J23062928-0502285 e is a rocky Earth-sized exoplanet. This planet orbits around an ultracool dwarf star called Trappist-1. The stellar flux, temperature, gravity and density of Trappist-1e is similar to Earth. There are some space objects looming in the red sky but Trappist-1e has no moons.

How For Away Is TRAPPIST-1e.

The exoplanet Trappist-1e is located about 40 light years away from Earth. It means it takes 40 years for our planet's light to reach the star Trappist-1.
