| Suggested name | Wakaechu |
| Planet type | Large hot gas giant |
| As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly two times for every two revolutions it makes around WASP-43.
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 170°K (-103°C) at night to 910°K (637°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.
The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 25 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature. |
