A planet where it rains hot glass sideways at 7,000 km/h #science #shorts #space

[00:00:00]Imagine a planet where rain could slice right through you because it rains molten glass and it falls sideways at 4,300 miles per hour. This isn't science fiction. This is HD 189,733b, one of the most hellish worlds scientists have ever discovered.

[00:00:16]Temperatures there climb above 1,000 degrees Celsius, hot enough for minerals in the atmosphere to vaporize and then turn into tiny glass particles. But the craziest part, the winds, they blast those glass shards across the planet at nearly 7,000 km per hour, about 4,300 miles per hour. That's faster than a bullet and around six times the speed of sound. And yes, the rain doesn't even fall downward. Because of the planet's extreme atmospheric currents, molten glass f l i sideways, turning the entire world into a giant sandblasting machine.

[00:00:47]So next time Earth weather feels extreme, just remember there's a place where the forecast sounds like this.

[00:00:53]Today, sideways glass storms. Avoid leaving the atmosphere.
