“等离子行星”这个名称很合适。此类行星捕获了无数艺术家的想象力并启发他们创作了大量作品，然而等离子星的原理在宇宙学的标准中是再简单不过的了。一个多山的类地行星配合上适当的大气以及磁场，当来自恒星的辐射轰击大气层的时候，某些大气中的元素因为被剥去了电子而产生出各种绚丽的等离子风暴。经过很长的时间后，这些电离风暴会将地表岩石灼烧出一层黝黑的表面，这也使得整个星球的外观更具视觉冲击力。

The aptly-named "plasma planets" have captured the imagination of countless artists and inspired innumerable works, yet the physics behind them are surprisingly mundane by cosmological standards. A rocky terrestrial with the right kind of atmosphere and magnetic field will, when bombarded with solar radiation, generate sprawling plasma storms as specific atmospheric elements are stripped of their electrons. Over time these storms will generally scorch the surface rock black, adding to the visual impact.
