Suggested nameHerid Ymir-li
Planet typeCold planet
It is a cold planet planet with a mass one-thousandth that of K2-171, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. When viewed from Tuslind Mipmede, Herid Ymir-li can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. Herid Ymir-li's atmosphere is similar to Tuslind Mipmede's in its primary composition of carbon monoxide and water vapor, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. This planet is named after the deity Herid Ymir-li, the creator of prosperity.

As seen from K2-171, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.
