| Suggested name | Tanew |
| Planet type | Warm planet |
| In English, Tanew is often referred to as the "red planet" because the methane prevalent on its surface gives it a pale red appearance that is distinctive among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye. Tanew 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. Tanew is orbiting GJ 160.2 every 9.7 Earth days.
The interior of Tanew is mainly composed of ices and magma. This planet is named after the deity Tanew, the spirit of nature.
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 560°K (287°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.
The largest moon, Xusiwaq Iden, has a diameter greater than that of the planet Mercury.
Future targets for exploration in the Tanew system include the probable ice-covered liquid ocean of its moon Xusiwaq Iden. |
