An intercomparison of planetary evolution codes finds Earth magma oceans solidify in about 4 million years while Venus scenarios show more varied prolonged stages up to 50 million years, with outcomes sensitive to initial volatile budgets and model-specific treatments.
Simulations indicate that order-of-magnitude changes in TiO2 and SiO2 abundances in lava melts produce distinguishable TiO, SiO, and SiO2 features in dry lava planet emission spectra, potentially observable with 12 JWST eclipses for the brightest targets.
Revised mass of 0.503 M_Earth and radius of 0.736 R_Earth for GJ 367 b give a density of 6.9 g cm^{-3} and an iron fraction of 50-70% via new tidal and composition modeling.
