Fictional info (?) |
Suggested name | Sycothone Si |
Planet type | Large cold gas giant |
Orbiting within Medeia's orbit, Sycothone Si is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from KMT-2016-BLG-2364; its maximum angular distance from KMT-2016-BLG-2364 (elongation) is 26 degrees.
It is named after the deity Sycothone Si, the spirit of love and beauty.
The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Sycothone Si are likewise similar to those of Medeia, as is the tilt that produces the seasons.
Because of its rapid rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).
Its north and south poles, therefore, lie where most other planets have their equators. |
