Suggested nameEkyuge Kyo
Planet typeCold planet
Ekyuge Kyo 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. Ekyuge Kyo is orbiting Kepler-647 every 16 Earth days. It has the longest rotation period (445 days) of any planet in its solar system and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.

When viewed from Homoshi, Ekyuge Kyo can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. This cold planet is named after the deity Ekyuge Kyo, the bringer of destruction.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Ekyuge Kyo's distance from Kepler-647 is only about two-thirds (or 69 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

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

The Ekyuge Kyo 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.
