"Unveiling the Mystery: The Elusive Double Planets Revealed"

A recent study explores the formation mechanisms of binary planets, which are two large planetary bodies orbiting each other. The study suggests that tidal dissipation, or the energy shared between two planetary bodies as they orbit close to each other, could be a key factor in the formation of binary planets. Binary planets are not present in our Solar System, but their existence could open up new possibilities for habitable satellites orbiting giant planets. Understanding binary planets could also provide insights into the formation and evolution of exoplanets and their systems.
