From the Ted Talk by Anjali Tripathi: Why Earth may someday look like Mars
Unscramble the Blue Letters
So using this technique, we've actually been able to discover a few transiting exoplanets that are undergoing atmospheric escape. And these planets can be called hot Jupiters, for some of the ones we've found. And that's because they're gas planets like Jupiter, but they're so close to their star, about a hundred times closer than Jupiter. And because there's all this lightweight gas that's ready to escape, and all this heating from the star, you have cptemelloy catastrophic rteas of atmospheric escape. So unlike our 400 pounds per munite of hegordyn being lost on etrah, for these planets, you're losing 1.3 bolliin pounds of hydrogen every minute.
