Suggested nameCalanan Ka
Planet typeTerrestrial
Calanan Ka's atmosphere is similar to Ananse'pa's in its primary composition of ethane and oxygen, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. The planet is named after the deity Calanan Ka, the goddess of destruction.

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 145°K (-128°C) at night to 630°K (357°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 0.004 bar, or roughly the pressure found 1215 m under the oceans of Earth.

The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 29 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.

Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Calanan Ka due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 5 percent of Earth's, except at the highest elevations for short periods.

Its apparent magnitude reaches -3, which is surpassed only by Ananse'pa, Beti, and TOI-216.
