Mool

Mool is the third planet in the Kisc star system.


There is evidence of water on Mool in the ice caps and cloud vapor in the atmosphere, but there is no liquid water on this planet.


Noticeably smaller than Qukoha, it is also much colder, averaging about -112 degrees F (223 K). Mool is near enough to Kisc to support warmer temperatures, but a difference in planet mechanics keeps it from enjoying a climate like Qukoha's. Mool's thin atmosphere has very little carbon dioxide, causing the planet to only have very little greenhouse effect. Much of Mool's carbon dioxide has been absorbed into its rock. The same has occurred on Qukoha, but Qukoha's plate tectonics allow the carbon dioxide to be melted back out of the rock as it is subducted, then released into the atmosphere periodically through volcanism. Mool has almost no plate tectonics and therefore nearly all of its carbon dioxide remains trapped in the planet's rock.
