Difference between HD 179949 and Planet

HD 179949 vs. Planet

HD 179949 is a 6th magnitude star in the constellation of Sagittarius. A planet is an astronomical body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and has cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals.

Similarities between HD 179949 and Planet

HD 179949 and Planet have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Astronomical unit, Earth, Exoplanet, Hot Jupiter, Main sequence, Metallicity, Orbital eccentricity, Orbital inclination, Orbital period, Star, Stellar classification, Sun.

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, ua, or AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun.

Hot Jupiter

Hot Jupiters are a class of gas giant exoplanets that are inferred to be physically similar to Jupiter but that have very short orbital period (P The close proximity to their stars and high surface-atmosphere temperatures resulted in the moniker "hot Jupiters". Hot Jupiters are the easiest extrasolar planets to detect via the radial-velocity method, because the oscillations they induce in their parent stars' motion are relatively large and rapid compared to those of other known types of planets. One of the best-known hot Jupiters is 51 Pegasi b. Discovered in 1995, it was the first extrasolar planet found orbiting a Sun-like star. 51 Pegasi b has an orbital period of about 4 days.
