Fictional info (?) |
Suggested name | Kivirhea |
Planet type | Cold planet |
Kivirhea 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. Kivirhea is orbiting Kepler-305 every 3.2 Earth days.
The planet is named after the deity Kivirhea, the bringer of good fortune.
As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly four times for every four revolutions it makes around Kepler-305.
Kivirhea's surface appears very cratered and is similar in appearance to the Moon's, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.
There are ongoing investigations assessing the past habitability potential of Kivirhea, as well as the possibility of extant life. The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in the Black Sea.
The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries. |
