Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameYaobwa'hyo
Planet typeSmall warm gas planet
It has the longest rotation period (445 days) of any planet in its solar system and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.

Yaobwa'hyo is similar in composition to Erherwyao, and both have different bulk chemical composition from that of the larger small warm gas planets. This small warm gas planet is named after the deity Yaobwa'hyo, the bringer of the underworld.

An observer on Yaobwa'hyo would therefore see only one winter every five years.

Yaobwa'hyo's surface appears very cratered and is similar in appearance to the Moon's, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.

The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 40 bar, or roughly the pressure found 990 m under the oceans of Erherwyao. Yaobwa'hyo is by far the hottest planet in its solar system, with a mean surface temperature of 631°K (358°C).

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