Suggested nameNikever-us
Planet typeHot planet
Nikever-us is the fourth planet from Kepler-374 and the second-smallest planet in its solar system.

It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 63°K (-210°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with carbonyl sulfide thought to make up the lowest clouds, and ethane the uppermost layer of clouds. This hot planet is named after the deity Nikever-us, the goddess of prosperity.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Nikever-us's distance from Kepler-374 is only about two-thirds (or 83 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

It may have had krypton oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

It may also have a rocky core of heavier elements, but like the other hot planets, Nikever-us lacks a well-defined magnetic field.
