| Suggested name | Silar |
| Planet type | Large hot gas giant |
| In English, Silar is often referred to as the "brown planet" because the carbon monoxide prevalent on its surface gives it a slight brown appearance that is unusual among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye.
When viewed from Uwer, Silar can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. This large hot gas giant is named after the deity Silar, the bringer of prosperity.
Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Silar's distance from TOI-942 is only about two-thirds (or 109 pct) of its distance at aphelion.
It may also have a rocky core of heavier elements, but like the other large hot gas giants, Silar lacks a well-defined magnetic field. |
