| Suggested name | Tapo |
| Planet type | Cold planet |
| It is named after the deity Tapo, the spirit of war.
The polar regions are constantly below 162°K (-111°C).
Tapo is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light.
Tapo was one of the first planets to have its motions plotted across the sky - as early as the second millennium BC.
Tapo is the site of Celestium Mountain, the biggest volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 27 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.
Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 480 kilometers across when Tapo is closest because of Earth's atmosphere. |
