Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameBertepho Pa
Planet typeWarm planet
Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 60°K (-213°C) at night to 840°K (567°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries. A prominent result is the "great white spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first observed by radar.
