Katharaeas

[PENDING TO BE INCLUDED IN AAD]

10th planet from Arventhor-Tempris. Lies in between the orbits of Ikkarris and Ormann.

Katharaeas is a relatively normal-sized planet of its class. It is known for its deep blue color, shining rings, and dazzling auroras. It is the second-to-last gas giant of the Arventhor-Tempris binary. Kartharaeas is also known for its extraordinary mass and gravity. This is so because of its denser core compared to the other jovian planets. The wind speeds on this planet are very fast, resulting in longer, thinner bands. In the upper levels of the atmosphere where most clouds lie, it is much calmer, but is still quite turbulent, mostly because of the seasonal winds caused by Katharaeas’ “high” obliquity compared to the other gas giants.

Katharaeas, like many other Jovian planets out there in all the Antarius System, has a relatively large moon count. As previously mentioned in past entries, this is because of the metallicity of ArTis and the Traiathad Nebula, allowing stars and planets to foster celestial bodies, whether moon or planet. An example can be Sirrona or Arkkanna, but more on that later. The high mass is caused by the amount of materials present. There is a lot of water, ammonia, methane, the usual mixture of hydrogen and helium, and various ices that exist within and without the planet. It also has an extraordinarily large rocky core. There are also clouds created by constantly freezing water and methane ice. Thanks to the windspeed, the clouds are constantly shifting, creating extravagant patterns and "cold hypercanes".
