Suggested nameForn Lia
Planet typeLarge hot gas giant
Its orbital period around Kepler-76 of 1.5 earth days is the shortest of all the planets in its solar system. Orbiting within Lenand Liapoly's orbit, Forn Lia is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from Kepler-76; its maximum angular distance from Kepler-76 (elongation) is 70 degrees.

Forn Lia and Lenand Liapoly are large hot gas giants rich in rock. This large hot gas giant is named after the deity Forn Lia, the demon of love and beauty.

Forn Lia is gravitationally locked with Kepler-76 in a 5:4 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system. As seen from Kepler-76, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

The polar regions are constantly below 162°K (-111°C).

Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Forn Lia's hostile surface conditions.

Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Forn Lia 2200 and ExoForn Lia rovers.

Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 285 kilometers across when Forn Lia is closest because of Lenand Liapoly's atmosphere.

Observations from Earth have shown seasonal change and increased weather activity as Forn Lia approached its equinox 6 years ago.
