Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameMyoba
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 0.05 bar, or roughly the pressure found 1485 m under the oceans of Earth.

The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 14 meters.

Because of its rapid rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator). The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries.
