Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameWeng
Planet typeWarm planet
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Yang, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, often, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight. Orbiting within Yang's orbit, Weng is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from Kepler-171; its maximum angular distance from Kepler-171 (elongation) is 58 degrees.

The planet is named after the deity Weng, the goddess of destruction.

As one of the brightest objects in the sky, Weng has been a major fixture in native folklore for as long as records have existed.

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

It may also have a rocky core of heavier elements, but like the other warm planets, Weng lacks a well-defined atmosphere.
