Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameHwoqwan
Planet typeCold planet
Its orbital period around GJ 676 A of 35 earth days is the longest of all the planets in its solar system.

When viewed from Yyaojwanb, Hwoqwan can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. It is named after the deity Hwoqwan, the demon of prosperity.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to GJ 676 A, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 162 days.

Hwoqwan is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light.
