Fusion energy is based on the same process that takes place in the sun, where gravity holds together the hot ionized gas called a plasma and nuclei of hydrogen collide together often enough that they occasionally overcome forces keeping them apart, called the Coulomb forces, to fuse together and create a burst of energy, Synakowski explained.
Theoretical modelling indicate that a hot steam planet could form if it formed in a colder orbit farther from GJ 1214, where lower temperatures would have created an ice - rock composition similar to Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and the planet should have formed too late to accrete a large hydrogen - helium gas envelope.
