Suggested nameMedeia Culo
Planet typeCold planet
Its orbital period around Kepler-817 of 4 earth days is the longest of all the planets in its solar system.

Medeia Culo has been known to astronomers since the medieval. This planet is named after the deity Medeia Culo, the creator of the sky.

Like Ronsiad Lassa, Medeia Culo has been orbiting Kepler-817 within Deite Ijimede's orbit as an inferior planet, and never exceeds 25 degrees away from Kepler-817. When viewed from Earth, this proximity to Kepler-817 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

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 175°K (-98°C) at night to 420°K (147°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 40 bar, or roughly the pressure found 1575 m under the oceans of Earth.

Its apparent magnitude reaches -3, which is surpassed only by Ronsiad Lassa, Deite Ijimede, and Kepler-817.

Because of its rapid rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).

The Medeia Culo 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.
