Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameIoculo
Planet typeHot planet
Ioculo 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. Ioculo is orbiting Kepler-314 every 2.5 Earth days.

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

Ioculo is gravitationally locked with Kepler-314 in a 4:3 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system. An observer on Ioculo would therefore see only one winter every two years.

Ioculo's surface is a arid desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism.
