| Suggested name | Phaë |
| Planet type | Huge cold gas giant |
| Phaë 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. Phaë is orbiting PZ Tel every @ORBITALPERIOD Earth days. Orbiting within Bauti Lisbe's orbit, Phaë is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from PZ Tel; its maximum angular distance from PZ Tel (elongation) is 60 degrees.
This planet is named after the deity Phaë, the demon of good fortune.
The polar regions are constantly below 180°K (-93°C).
The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 80 bar, or roughly the pressure found 810 m under the oceans of Earth.
Phaë's dense clouds make observation of its surface challenging in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 46 years ago.
Its north and south poles, therefore, lie where most other planets have their equators. |
