sionnach commented on the word hot jupiter
Humans are not alone in struggling to stay slim. Some planets go through a "fat" stage that swells their waistlines temporarily, which possibly explains why some gas giants are unexpectedly large. The difference between predicted and measured widths of so-called hot Jupiters can be 30 percent or more.
