| Suggested name | Disur |
| Planet type | Cold planet |
| Disur is the largest and most well-known planet in its solar system.
It is a cold planet planet with a mass one-thousandth that of Kepler-961, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. Disur and Dusjul'kal are cold planets rich in iron. The planet is named after the deity Disur, the messenger of good fortune.
Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Disur's distance from Kepler-961 is only about two-thirds (or 109 pct) of its distance at aphelion.
Disur is a cold planet and is sometimes called Earth's "brother planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to Kepler-961, and bulk composition.
Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Disur 1500 and ExoDisur 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 7 meters.
Its apparent magnitude reaches -3, which is surpassed only by Dusjul'kal, Iaton Cardora, and Kepler-961.
Disur is primarily composed of hydrogen with a significant part of its mass being ethane, though ethane comprises only about a limited fraction of the number of molecules. Because of its fast rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).
The Disur 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. Its north and south poles, therefore, lie where most other planets have their equators. |
