Suggested nameUpinep
Planet typeHot gas giant
Orbiting within Unine's orbit, Upinep is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from Kepler-424; its maximum angular distance from Kepler-424 (elongation) is 72 degrees.

It is a hot gas giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of Kepler-424, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 33°K (-240°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH) thought to make up the lowest clouds, and carbon dioxide the uppermost layer of clouds. This hot gas giant is named after the deity Upinep, the goddess of the sea.

The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in the Black Sea.

Surrounding Upinep is a large planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere.
