This is according to Sean Raymond, an astrophysicist at the Astrophysics Laboratory in Bordeaux, who says the internal heat of the planets may allow life to form.

A rogue planet is a free floating planet. It does not orbit a star. Even so, it can be within an artificial Habitable Zone. More details are available here. Rogue planet are of two origins. Some of them have been ejected from their host stars by gravitational perturbations. Others can be created from small clouds of gas and dust, similar to a star formation. If the planets are still warm, they are Hot planets. However, without a source of fusion, temperature will decrease dramatically. It…

Hoth.

A rare, rogue exoplanet without a parent star drifts through space just 80 light-years from Earth, astronomers say. The object may be the lowest-mass

“A Jupiter-like rogue planet wandering alone in the dark of space. There could be 50 billion such rogue planets adrift in the Milky Way, floating freely without a parent star.”
