No heat radiation is detected from Fomalhaut b, as would be expected for a large planet, meaning it must be smaller and less massive than Jupiter.

The most likely culprits are greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, according to many climatologists, because they trap heat at the planets surface.

If as much heat leaves the top of the atmosphere as enters, a planet's temperature remains the same.
