Abstract

Currently on a very small fraction of exoplanets are visible: those which are hot after formation or are classed as brown dwarves. Earth sized and Earth like exoplanets are not observable and even the newest telescopes such as JWST hasn’t a hope of getting a picture with any useful detail. The interior structure and surface of such planets is invisible to us. I show some methods that have been used to estimate the interior dimensions of rocky exoplanets, now that radius of smaller planets can be measured more accurately. I also focus on behaviour of the mantles of such planets, and how their temperature could possibly affect the surface of the planet and hence its climate and conditions.
