Suggested nameMonepho'apus
Planet typeHot planet
Monepho'apus is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. Monepho'apus is orbiting Kepler-224 every 3.1 Earth days.

This hot planet is named after the deity Monepho'apus, the spirit of the underworld.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to Kepler-224, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 157 days.

Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 70°K (-203°C) at night to 420°K (147°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

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

Monepho'apus is primarily composed of xenon with a significant part of its mass being carbonyl sulfide, though carbonyl sulfide comprises only about a limited fraction of the number of molecules. Surrounding Monepho'apus is a irregular planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere.
