Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameDeuces
Planet typeSmall gas planet
For this reason, scientists often classify Deuces and Faririon as "small gas planets" to distinguish them from the other planets. This planet is named after the deity Deuces, the demon of chaos.

Deuces is gravitationally locked with K2-280 in a 4:3 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system. An observer on Deuces would therefore see only one summer every three years.

Deuces is the site of Celestium Montanus, the tallest volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system.
