Suggested nameSyaog
Planet typeHot planet
In English, Syaog is often referred to as the "green planet" because the ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH) prevalent on its surface gives it a dark green appearance that is distinctive among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye.

Syaog's atmosphere is similar to Syanzh Ei's in its primary composition of methane and ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH), but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. The planet is named after the deity Syaog, the god of love and beauty.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Syaog's distance from K2-256 is only about two-thirds (or 92 pct) of its distance at aphelion. Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 95°K (-178°C) at night to 735°K (462°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

It is radically different from Syanzh Ei in other respects.

As the closest planet to Syanzh Ei, Syaog has been a prime target for early extra solar exploration.

Like a few of the other hot planets, Syaog has a ring system, a magnetosphere, and numerous moons, Oxye being the most famous one.
