Lava planets are the planets with the hottest climate in the cluster. Polus Corporation scientists consider planets of this type to be the youngest in the cluster, since their cores have not yet had time to cool down and take a stable shape, which is why their surface looks extremely unfriendly for researchers. The very surface of lava planets consists of giant magma plates, often surrounded by lava lakes and rivers. Often, during the exploration planets of this type, magma stalagmites formed from frozen lava geysers, as well as volcanoes in the active, passive, or dormant phase can be found.

Size


Despite the fact that lava planets are considered the youngest in the cluster, their sizes almost always fall in the range from 1400 and up to 2000 kilometers in diameter. Researchers attribute them to medium-sized planets.

Resources


During a number of geological expeditions to lava planets, scientists noticed unusual properties of the liquid mass that protrudes everywhere to the surface. Its chemical composition, surprisingly, was not at all similar to the familiar, terrestrial type of lava. Nitrogen contained in the core, comes to the surface and enriches the lava mass with hydrazine.

Landscape


Red-hot magma wastelands occupy 60-75% of the surface of lava planets. The remaining 25-40% are surface lava masses coming out of the depths to the surface through volcanoes and geysers.
