    COROT-7b has an acrid atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide, sulfur, methane and hydrogen with water vapor present after eruptions. The planet has 1.3 times Earth's gravity and a 20 hour day, with an extremely hot and fiery climate averaging 137F due to constant volcanic activity that also causes smoky, dark skies and rivers of lava instead of water. Though completely covered in rock and lacking plant life as we know it, the planet supports common bacteria and more complex life due to constant carbon in the atmosphere, despite daily volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

    COROT-7b – “Feuer”

    Atmosphere – Acrid. Composed mostly of carbon dioxide, sulfur, methane,


    and hydrogen. Water vapor after eruptions.

    Gravity – 1.3 times Earth

    Length of Day – 20 hours

    Climate – Extremely hot and fiery. The planet is constantly plagued with
    volcanic activity, and so the air is smoky and dark. The average surface
    temperature is 137F. The sky is almost always dark.

    Surface conditions – Volcanic activity is constant on this planet, and rivers


    run with lava instead of water. Liquid water is non-existent, but water vapor
    is common. The planet is completely covered in rock and plant life as we
    know it is non-existent. Plants resemble fungus and cacti. Bacteria is
    common, and complex life has developed. Volcanoes erupt daily, and quakes
    are common, but because there is so much carbon, life thrives.

    Notes – This planet is extremely hostile, but life is common, although is


    resembles nothing on Earth.
