Suggested name | Wenc Yao |
Planet type | Cold planet |
This cold planet is named after the deity Wenc Yao, the god of the sky.
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-787, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 87 days.
The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 28 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.
Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Wenc Yao due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 3 percent of Earth's, except at the highest elevations for short periods.
The Wenc Yao 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. |
Atmosphere | Argon | 75% |
Water vapor | 20% |
Ammonia | 4.1% |
Atmospheric pressure | 0.001 bar |
