Bow shocks in astrophysics magnetized, such as Jupiter or Saturn. Earth's bow shock is about thick and located about from the planet. Bow shocks form at comets as a result of the interaction between the solar wind and the cometary ionosphere. Far away from the Sun, a comet is an icy boulder without an atmosphere. As it approaches the Sun, the heat of the sunlight causes gas to be released from the cometary nucleus, creating an atmosphere called a coma. The coma is partially ionized by the sunlight, and when the solar wind passes through this ion coma, the bow shock appears. The first
HD 170469 b make orbital velocity of 19.8 km/s, slower than Earth's 29.8 km/s. HD 170469 b HD 170469 b is a gas giant exoplanet located approximately 212 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus, orbiting the star HD 170469. This planet was discovered in April 2007. The star is 1.1 solar mass and the planet is at least 67% the mass of Jupiter, orbiting about half the distance of Jupiter from the Sun. The mass value is only minimum since the inclination is unknown. The orbital distance is more than twice the distance from Earth to the Sun, although taking over three Earth
