Suggested namePaase
Planet typeLarge cold gas giant
This planet is named after the deity Paase, the god of fear.

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-46, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 116 days.

Paase is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light.

Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Paase's strong magnetosphere.

Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Paase due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 4 percent of Earth's, except at the highest elevations for limited periods.

Surrounding Paase is a thin planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere.

The Paase system has a unique configuration among those of the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit.
