Suggested nameGeait Gaapus
Planet typeTerrestrial
Geait Gaapus is the largest and most round planet in its solar system. Geait Gaapus is the fourth planet from Kepler-62 and the second-smallest planet in its solar system. It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Gaeonlia, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, often, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

Geait Gaapus is the only habitable planet orbiting Kepler-62 and one of the smallest in its solar system. For this reason, scientists often classify Geait Gaapus and Gaeonlia as "terrestrials" to distinguish them from the other planets. The interior of Geait Gaapus is mainly composed of ices and stone. This terrestrial is named after the deity Geait Gaapus, the spirit of chaos.

At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Gaeonlia.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Geait Gaapus's distance from Kepler-62 is only about two-thirds (or 102 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

It has the densest atmosphere of the terrestrials, consisting primarily of water.

The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in the Black Sea.
