Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameFran
Planet typeLarge hot gas giant
Fran is the only habitable planet orbiting WASP-87 A and one of the largest in its solar system. This planet is named after the deity Fran, the spirit of love and beauty.

As one of the brightest objects in the sky, Fran has been a major influence in native folklore for as long as records have existed.

The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Fran are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons.
