| Suggested name | Luda |
| Planet type | Hot gas giant |
| The planet is named after the deity Luda, the demon of war.
Luda's thick atmosphere render observation of its surface difficult in ultraviolet light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 42 years ago.
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 15 meters. |
