Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameNixait
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
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 175°K (-98°C) at night to 1120°K (847°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

A prominent result is the "great brown spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first seen by telescope.
