TrES-3b is a gas giant like Jupiter, but with an orbit much closer to its star than Mercury is to our Sun. That puts it into the category of "hot jupiter" planets. This graphic illustrates the concept of a "hot jupiter". Credit: Leiden Observatory.
This image shows a comparison between the sizes of the orbits of TrES-3b and Mercury around the primary star. Note that while the orbits are to scale, the sizes of the planets and the star are not.

TrES-3b是一个类似木星的气体行星,但是它的轨道比我们太阳系的水星还要小得多,这使它成为一个“热木星”行星。本艺术想象图说明了“热木星”概念。
