Our finding likely means that the atmosphere extends a little beyond the shore of the magma ocean, making it easier to spot with space telescopes. 55 Cancri e, almost twice the diameter of Earth, is another possible lava world, as seen in this artist’s concept.

Both spacecraft, launched in 1977, are still in communication with Earth.A 'dwarf planet' is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, (c) has not cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit, and (d) is not a satellite. Join in with fun RHYMES as we go on an exciting SPACE expedition to say HELLO to all the planets in the SOLAR SYSTEM.

Source: Modelling the atmosphere of lava planet K2-141b: implications for low- and high-resolution spectroscopy Lava worlds like K2-141b are unknown in our solar system. Even Mercury isn’t close enough to the sun to have magma oceans on its surface. On Earth and Jupiter’s moon Io (and maybe Venus), the lava flows from volcanoes can give an idea of what it’s like, but it’s still not the same as having much of, or most of, a planet’s entire surface literally melted to create magma oceans.
