Numerous liquid metal lakes, large and small, dotted the surface of this planet.
Only elements or alloys with higher melting points could remain solid. The The rest, with lower melting points, had all melted.
Furthermore, these "lakes" even had ripples and sometimes "waves."
This planet had no atmosphere. Those ripples and waves were not formed by the blowing of wind.
They were formed by frequent asteroid impacts.
Even at such a close distance to the host star, asteroid activity remained frequent. In fact, this large planet itself was located within an asteroid belt.
The definition of a large planet is, firstly, that it orbits a star, and secondly, that it possesses enough mass to clear its orbit.
From these two definitions, this planet seemingly could not be called** a large planet, because it had not cleared its own orbit.
How many asteroids, numbering more than a hundred billion, shared the same orbital path around Pegasus V342?
