Suggested nameGirhami
Planet typeHot gas giant
Girhami is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. Girhami is orbiting CoRoT-29 every 2.9 Earth days.

Girhami is the only habitable planet orbiting CoRoT-29 and one of the largest in its solar system. This planet is named after the deity Girhami, the messenger of nature.

Girhami's surface is a barren desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism.

Girhami has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Daedalus flyby missions and later by the Isaac orbiter.

In 3178, images from Frontier 8 showed Girhami as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other hot gas giants.
