Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameMaka-io
Planet typeSmall hot gas planet
Maka-io 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. Maka-io is orbiting TOI-3976 every 6.6 Earth days.

The planet is named after the deity Maka-io, the goddess of love and beauty.

Maka-io's axis has the smallest tilt of any of its solar system's planets.

Maka-io is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light.

Its apparent magnitude reaches -3, which is surpassed only by Lepa, Bandene, and TOI-3976. Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 405 kilometers across when Maka-io is closest because of Earth's atmosphere.

The Maka-io 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.
