Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameNewa
Planet typeCold planet
The formaldehyde has probably photodissociated, and the free water vapor has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a 2H2O layer.

The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 15 meters.
