Scientists have discovered a planet that will demonstrate what will happen to the Earth after the increase in the sun

An international group of scientists spoke about the new planet. It is interesting because it will demonstrate what

will become the Earth after the expansion of the Sun.

What is known

The planet was named LP 809-9c.She was discovered in 2022. It is located at a distance of about 100 light years from us and revolves around a red dwarf. LP 809-9c is about a third larger than our planet.

LP 809-9c is only 6.4 millionkm from its star, while the distance from the Earth to the Sun is 149 million km. Scientists speculate that LP 809-9c may contain liquid water.

If this assumption is confirmed, it will bemean that the exoplanet is located in the habitable zone. In simple terms, it is far enough from its star for life to arise, but the temperature is not high enough for the oceans to evaporate. Venus followed the second scenario.

Scientists want to use the James Webb telescope tostudying LP 809-9c. With the help of a space observatory, researchers intend to find out if there is liquid water on the planet and whether it can be inhabited. In addition, James Webb, studying LP 809-9c, will allow us to find out what will happen to the Earth when the Sun begins to expand.
