Suggested nameCylcal
Planet typeHot planet
Cylcal is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. Cylcal is orbiting K2-37 every 6.4 Earth days.

Cylcal and Kaltheus are hot planets rich in gas. It is named after the deity Cylcal, the demon of prosperity.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Cylcal's distance from K2-37 is only about two-thirds (or 40 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

A prominent result is the "great gray spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first observed by radar. Surrounding Cylcal is a faint planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere.
