Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameHimar
Planet typeCold planet
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 105°K (-168°C) at night to 630°K (357°C) during the day across the equatorial regions. The polar regions are constantly below 243°K (-30°C).

It has the densest atmosphere of the known cold planets, consisting primarily of carbon monoxide. The water vapor has probably photodissociated, and the free carbon monoxide has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a krypton layer.

Because of its rapid rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).
