Heating of an inflated giant planet
= Heating of an inflated giant planet
A giant planet can also remain inflated when power is deposited sufficiently deep to alter its internal energy budget. Candidate sources include <tidal heating>, <Joule heating> by wind-driven currents, and dissipation of circulation-driven mechanical energy. The depth and efficiency of deposition matter, as discussed in https://arxiv.org/abs/1501.02087[models of hot-Jupiter heating].
