Astronomers Discover Super-Puff Planets Lighter Than Cotton Candy

Astronomers are studying unusual celestial bodies located outside our solar system. These large planets have densities significantly lower than expected. Their mass is so low that they are described as lighter than cotton candy. They are categorized as super-puff planets due to their fluffy nature. The formation mechanism of such low-density worlds remains a scientific puzzle. Researchers used data to measure the size and mass of these distant objects. The discovery challenges existing models of planetary formation and evolution. Further study is required to understand the composition of their atmospheres.
