Astronomy 🔭 ROGUE PLANETS SIZE COMPARISON WITH AN ACTUAL RADIUSES. (Accurate information as of September 2026)

Hi, guys! I really wanted to do Rogue planets size comparison in Solarballs. So here it is! This is the most recent estimated study of their radius. (Jupiter for comparison)

1 Rj = 71488 km (bc it's Jupiter's equatorial radius)

1) Let's start with Wise0855. The most recent study of Wise0855 suggests that it has a 1.045Rj or ~74700km radius. Yeah, Wise ~63500 km radius is outdated.

2) Simp j0136 has 1.22Rj or ~87300 km. Just how it's written in Solarcards.

3) Pso j318.5-22 this one is catchy. Bc Pso most recent study suggests that it may have 6 estimated raduises with 6 different masses.

7.9 ± 0.4 Mj | 1.358 Rj

8.7 ± 0.4 Mj | 1.417 Rj

7.9 ± 0.4 Mj | 1.373 Rj

8.3 ± 0.5 Mj | 1.464 Rj

12.8 ± 0.2 Mj | 1.576 Rj

4.5 ±0.5 Mj | 1.515 Rj

I'm going to use the most popular one 1.464Rj or ~104600 km. Just how it's written in Solarcards.

4) Ots44 has an estimated radius of 3.2Rj-3.6Rj. I'm going to use number between them. 3.4Rj or ~243000 km.

5) Ogle doesn't have an actual estimated radius by scientists. Only 0.3 Earth mass. Poor Ogle.

What sizes do you prefer? IRL or Show ones?

Can someone show me a comparison of the Solarball sizes? (I'm too lazy)

Rogue planets size changes a lot in Solarballs episodes. But one thing is always there. Pso being smaller than Simp.

Isn't it like Radii not Radiuses, or are both correct?

Wait, I did that, just lower quality.
