Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameZetomya
Planet typeHot planet
It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 45°K (-228°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with oxygen thought to make up the lowest clouds, and nitrogen the uppermost layer of clouds. This hot planet is named after the deity Zetomya, the bringer of nature.

An observer on Zetomya would therefore see only one sunrise every four years.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Zetomya's distance from K2-61 is only about two-thirds (or 112 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

It has the densest atmosphere of the hot planets, consisting of huge amounts of nitrogen.
