Suggested nameGusho-gyo
Planet typeHot planet
For this reason, scientists often classify Gusho-gyo and Kuki as "hot planets" to distinguish them from the other planets. Gusho-gyo's atmosphere is similar to Kuki's in its primary composition of carbon dioxide and ozone, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. This planet is named after the deity Gusho-gyo, the god of the sky.

At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Kuki.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Gusho-gyo's distance from K2-28 is only about two-thirds (or 59 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

Gusho-gyo's hazy clouds render observation of its surface challenging in infrared light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 44 years ago.

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