Researchers believe this results from its extremely hot atmosphere, which is as high as 1,800°F (980°C), 8 its closeness to its sun—its source of energy. So how does this planet manage to absorb about 99% of the light it receives from its sun? 9 researchers are not completely sure, they believe it could be because its atmosphere is composed of light-absorbing chemicals like vaporized sodium or even some elements whose existence is not yet known.
