Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameWeitwu Faox
Planet typeCold planet
For this reason, scientists often classify Weitwu Faox and Yinzh Yi as "cold planets" to distinguish them from the other planets. The planet is named after the deity Weitwu Faox, the creator of the sky.

Weitwu Faox is gravitationally locked with HD 99706 in a 4:3 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system.

It may have had water vapor oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

There are ongoing investigations assessing the past habitability potential of Weitwu Faox, as well as the possibility of extant life.
