Suggested nameShwunwen-l
Planet typeCold planet
It is a cold planet planet with a mass one-thousandth that of KIC 12454613, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 85°K (-188°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with sulfur dioxide thought to make up the lowest clouds, and water vapor the uppermost layer of clouds. This cold planet is named after the deity Shwunwen-l, the spirit of the underworld.

Shwunwen-l's axis has the smallest tilt of any of its solar system's planets.
