We all know that diamonds are very precious and rare, because the stocks of diamonds on Earth are so scarce and difficult to mine, so the double difficulty is that diamonds can be said to be very precious on earth. Its weight is not quite the same as that of other metals or objects, which is carat. Earth in the solar system is the poorest, often raining, and the planet is often covered with diamonds.
Because of this, many of us are also very fond of diamonds, do not know if you have seen such a news, China has a star on the Weibo said a sentence, that is, diamonds less than 3 carats of worthless. As soon as such remarks appeared, they began to be complained crazily by the vast majority of netizens, and not everyone could afford to buy such large diamonds. Therefore, although diamonds are rare, they can also be seen in the scarcity of diamonds and the number of diamond-seekers.
Diamonds are so rare on Earth, but on other planets in the solar system, there are so many, to what extent? That is, the rain on Earth is made up of water, and among the four planets Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus, the diamond rain is not very surprising. In fact, this is also related to the structure of these planets. The reason for this is that the atmosphere of these planets is very related. Among these planets, they have very thick atmospheres, and there is a special, very special substance in the atmospheres of these planets, which is the chemical methane.
The presence of these methane is also one of the most important elements in the formation of diamonds, which is formed by chemical reactions, and often occurs on these planets in a state of lightning and thunder. Under the action of lightning in the atmosphere, these substances turn into carbon black, they are in the same state as dust, and they may also be a large mass on the planet. Earth in the solar system is the poorest, often raining, and the planet is often covered with diamonds.
And they may be further transformed into graphite due to atmospheric pressure, coupled with temperature, and continue to fall down in the form of graphite. When the temperature and pressure of the atmosphere on these planets reach adequate standards, these substances are likely to turn into diamonds, the density of which is so large that they fall in the form of particles. This is what we call the diamond rain.
But the diamond rain can't last long, because the temperatures on the planet are so high that many of the diamonds that form will melt away, and only a few will be preserved and stay on these planets forever!
