Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameKune
Planet typeCold planet
Its orbital period around Kepler-746 of 3.5 earth days is the longest of all the planets in its solar system. Kune is the fourth planet from Kepler-746 and the second-smallest planet in its solar system. 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.

This cold planet is named after the deity Kune, the creator of fear.

Like Remof, Kune has been orbiting Kepler-746 for 8.7 billion years, and never moves more than 27 degrees away from Kepler-746.

Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 130°K (-143°C) at night to 910°K (637°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

It is radically different from Remof in other respects.

Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 150 kilometers across when Kune is closest because of Earth's atmosphere.
