A Volatile in Universe Sandbox is a simulated [[Object Types|object]] representing a cloud of gas and vapor emitted by evaporation. Volatiles are produced by heating a [[Planetary Body]]. In astronomy and planetary science, the term [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatiles volatile] refers to elements, molecules, or compounds with low boiling points, which tend to vaporize easily. These include hydrogen, water, carbon dioxide, and methane. ==Characteristics== Volatile objects have the following characteristics: * They are not affected by [[gravity]], so they are neither [[attracted]] nor [[attracting]]. * They have no calculated [[Orbital Elements|orbital elements]], and their [[Displayed Orbit|orbit]] will not be displayed. * They do not [[Collision|collide]] with other objects, instead passing right through them. * Their temperature is only represented by a single [[Fragment Temperature|Temperature]] property, rather than surface temperature vs. effective temperature.
