Suggested name | Wens Ao |
Planet type | Cold planet |
It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 53°K (-220°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with methane thought to make up the lowest clouds, and ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH) the uppermost layer of clouds. It is named after the deity Wens Ao, the bringer of chaos.
As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly two times for every three revolutions it makes around Kepler-198. An observer on Wens Ao would therefore see only one day every four years.
It may have had oxygen oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.
As one of the most noticeable objects in the sky, Wens Ao has been a major factor in native culture for as long as records have existed.
As the closest planet to Chwa-jyao'l, Wens Ao has been a prime target for early interplanetary exploration.
There are ongoing investigations assessing the present habitability potential of Wens Ao, as well as the possibility of extant life. |
