Because WASP-193b has an unusually low density for its size, scientists have described it as “basically super fluffy.”.
Based on a study that was published in Nature Astronomy, the majority of its composition is believed to be hydrogen and helium.
Although WASP-193b is the second-least dense planet ever discovered by astronomers, its size—roughly 50% larger than Jupiter—makes it challenging for experts to comprehend.
According to senior author Khalid Barkaoui of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), “the planet is basically super fluffy” because it’s primarily composed of light gasses rather than solids.
