    A small correction - ice sheets are more likely to form on planets with low axial tilt, since for the formation of long-term ice it is more important not extremely cold winter but rather a relatively cool summer which will not be hot enough to melt everything which deposited over the year. That's how Milankovitch cycles work on Earth also - when the tilt is the smallest (around 22 degrees) is when the biggest ice sheets form and overall it is cooler.

      It does make sense that floating ice continents are more likely to happen on low axial tilt planets due to cool summer temperatures, I should've mentioned that. However in the video I discussed the possibility of a more dynamic scenario where an ice continent forms during winter and then fully or partially disappears during summer, such a planet where that can occur is one with a great axial tilt but also a very long year, for example triple or quadruple the length of a year on Earth.

      I imagine they are very common indeed. They form out of the ice line, like Ceres did, then migrate into the HZ, like Ceres didn't. Presto: Mars mass worth of planet, Ceres mass worth of ocean.
      One interesting feature: hot ice forms under the sheer pressure of all that ocean. That ice is too dense to float.

    One of most interesting and exotic possibilities would be a planet that have water but also a large amount of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons as inmiscible and of lesser density of water would form a separate ocean atop of waterbody. That would made rather unique conditions for eventual life.

      It would probably be similar to mercury, with a large iron core. At that distance, it is almost certainly tidally locked, and the forces acting upon it might give it volcanism along with lava lakes.

    • @zimriel

      I don't know if the maths have been done, but it strikes me that after 4.5 billion years, the tidal forces of the Sun's upper atmo?sphere and planets like Venus and Jupiter would have crushed Vulcan by now. Turned it into a ring of rocky asteroids.

    I am glad I finally found a space channel where the content is to the point and straightforwardly delivered instead of large sweeping narrative pieces that are unrelated to the video playing on screen. Like there are so many videos that are supposed to tell me about idk, ice ages, and stuff. And the narrator would be like" Let us begin at the beginning of time" and there are tons of stock footage of fucking deserts, tropical rainforests, people talking around a bonfire at the beach like bro. Just tell me the science behind ice ages I don't wanna waste time or listen in x2💀. I would prefer even a Powerpoint presentation at that point to whatever type of AI generated content that is.

    Planets that are unlikely to support life could be interesting too, like for example I've imagined a planet that is the moon of a gas giant which orbits an orange star on an orbit where average temperature is around -50°C, the moon is quite big, like smaller than Earth but bigger than Mars and has mostly CO2 ice crust and has an atmosphere around 3 times as dense as Earth's atmosphere and on the surface it supports ammonia oceans and seas and also has some other more rare liquids but mostly it's ammonia, also most of the surface is usually kinda yellowish-orange-white. There are also cryovolcanoes which are quite powerful because of the thick CO2 crust and pressure at the bottom, they also transfer metallic and some other heavier particles to the surface and oceans, also the moon is subjected to the tidal forces from the gas giant and has some kind of tectonic activity
