Properties
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS | PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Terra is a terrestrial planet - the second planet in the Hydrus planetary system. It is an ocean world, and as such, is one of two planets in the Hydrus system to harbor native lifeforms - the other being Hydrus III (Acwai). Terra's surface is varied, with large landmasses and oceans. Temperature on the planet is stable, with an average surface temperature of 15° C.
Terra is geologically active, with frequent tectonic movement driving a slow continental drift. Gravity on the planet is sufficiently strong. It's atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen, and is capable of supporting respiration for organisms native to Terra.
ORBITAL CHARACTERISTICS | ORBITAL CHARACTERISTICS
The planet rests near the inner edge of Hydra's habitable zone, allowing for liquid water to exist on its surface. This orbit lasts 360 days.
A natural satellite, Terra I (Luna) orbits the planet every 30 days, and influences the planet's tidal patterns.
