Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameWaren
Planet typeCold planet
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Yaodaik-eng, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, often, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

It is named after the deity Waren, the spirit of good fortune.

As seen from K2-219, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

Waren is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light.

Because of its fast rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).
