Suggested nameTeserus Is
Planet typeSmall cold gas planet
Orbiting within Ufykiga's orbit, Teserus Is is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from Kepler-53; its maximum angular distance from Kepler-53 (elongation) is 46 degrees.

It is a small cold gas planet planet with a mass one-thousandth that of Kepler-53, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. Teserus Is's atmosphere is similar to Ufykiga's in its primary composition of carbonyl sulfide and hydrogen, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. The planet is named after the deity Teserus Is, the bringer of fear.

Like Ufykiga, Teserus Is has been orbiting Kepler-53 for @STARAGE billion years, and never moves more than 24 degrees away from Kepler-53.

As seen from Kepler-53, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

Teserus Is is by far the hottest planet in its solar system, with a mean surface temperature of 218°K (-55°C), even though Ufykiga is closer to Kepler-53.

The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Teserus Is are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons.

Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Teserus Is 2300 and ExoTeserus Is rovers. The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 19 meters.

The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries.
