  • I always assumed that the temperature of the core of an object was related to the mass and circumference. So the strength of gravity creates pressure. Prussure creates heat. Small dense object has cool to warm core. Large dense object has really hot core. Some comets or asteroids will have so little gravity they may have little difference in sub surface temperatures. The moon is big enough to have some heat. Earth is the biggest of our rocky planets and has a core as hot as our sun’s surface. Mars is between the moon and earth in size. Jupiter is super size but gaseous so it could be comparable to a rocky planet with a smaller circumference.

    I think the pressure heat I described above is rarely talked about for some reason. However, if you add the tidal movement from gravitational forces, I ask what the multiplier would be for a more fluid gaseous planet compared to a rocky planet.

    Anyways, what I meant to say was, duh. But I’m happy to see new measurements.
