Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameKalydil
Planet typeLarge cold gas giant
It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 73°K (-200°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with hydrogen chloride thought to make up the lowest clouds, and molecular hydrogen the uppermost layer of clouds.

The ethane has probably photodissociated, and the free molecular hydrogen has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a carbon monoxide layer.

The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 17 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.
