Glacia is in a distant galaxy, far from the Milky Way. The galaxy it’s in, the Hershey Galaxy, is similar to the Milky Way, consisting of nine polar opposite planets, Glacia being one of them. The Sun is rather small, only about 8,000 miles in diameter. Glacia is the seventh planet farthest from the Sun, and with a diameter of 120,000 miles, the solid and misty planet takes 487 Earth days to revolve around the Sun, and 25 Earth hours equals one day there. On the planet, the core of the planet is small, but the gravitational pull is strong, like it is on Earth. The land is a frozen sheet of ice, and so is the water. The ice can range from 1 foot to 3 feet in thickness, depending on where the planet is in orbit and where on the planet, if at the poles or not. Some believe that there was life, but the ice is too thick to see if there are any surviving organisms below it. Glacia used to be one of the closest planets to the Sun, until some stars in between exploded, forming planets there and sending Glacia outwards. It used to be a scorching piece of land, where wildfires were flaring up everywhere and the water was boiling constantly. Now, it’s the complete opposite. With extreme temperatures ranging from -430 C to -760 C, only the strongest of organisms can survive. If there’s any liquids, it’s too far below the ice to form into clouds to precipitate, so the only weather that is experienced on the planet is wind. Wind gusts can go from non-existent to nearly 100mph in a matter of seconds, making the temperature feel even more colder than it already is. Everything on this planet is extreme. It is believed, though, that back when Glacia was pushed back after the star explosion, in that brief 5 Glacia years of realistic temperatures, there were single-cell organisms, unlike anything found on Earth, resurfaced from under the blazing land and thrived there until the temperature began to drop. It dropped too fast for the single-cell organisms, called amibellas, to adapt to the changing temperature and began to die off by freezing. The amibellas who got there in time were said to have gone underwater and remained there as the water began to freeze from above. They are said to still be there, but after 73 Glacia years of Glacia’s temperatures well below freezing, the amibellas have probably already died off, but no one knows. It’s so cold at Glacia, event the ice is blue. The only landforms that exist on the planet is a giant, thick, sheet of ice, spanning the whole planet. There are no valleys, cliffs, or caves, because earlier, when Glacia was near the sun, the temperature was too hot, about 450 C to 790 C, everything would melt and boil. That all froze when the temperatures dropped. Glacia is very cold, deserted, desolate, and possibly habitable.
