Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameCorto
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
The nitrogen has probably photodissociated, and the free argon has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a oxygen layer.

A prominent result is the "great black spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first seen by telescope.
