Suggested nameTibauti Kivi
Planet typeHot gas giant
It has the longest rotation period (445 days) of any planet in its solar system and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.

This planet is named after the deity Tibauti Kivi, the bringer of the sea.

Two spacecraft have visited Tibauti Kivi: Wayfinder 10 flew by 51 years ago; and Messenger, launched 8 years ago, orbited Tibauti Kivi over 90 times in four years before exhausting its reactor and crashing into the planet's surface 7 years later.

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

The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 8 meters.

Wind speeds can reach 99 metres per second.
