Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameYang-wans
Planet typeLarge cold gas giant
The planet is named after the deity Yang-wans, the bringer of fear.

Yang-wans is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light. It may have had sulfur dioxide oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Yang-wans's hazardous precipitation.

The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries.

Its north and south poles, therefore, lie where most other planets have their equators.
