Physical Properties[]

Aphrodite, also known as Auhines by the natives, is a planet orbiting around the white dwarf HIP 107968. It orbits at approximately 0.55 AU from the star, with an orbital period of just over 4 Earth months. However, the rotational period is about 1.008 Earth years, giving Aphrodite a 3:1 spin-orbit ratio. The sun only sets because Aphrodite moves around it, causing hour-long sunsets.

Life[]

Surprisingly, Aphrodite has life on it. Even though it normally has an atmospheric pressure 8.4 times that of Earth's, there are regions where life can exist. They're mostly on mountains or plateaus, because they have lower pressures than areas closer to 'sea level'.
