Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameKusegyu-shi
Planet typeSmall cold gas planet
The planet is named after the deity Kusegyu-shi, the goddess of the sky.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to K2-18, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 99 days.

Kusegyu-shi is the site of Olympus Mountain, the most active volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system.

The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in the Black Sea.
