Mundis

Mundis is the Xth planet from in the Solar System and the only known astronomical object to host life. It is the only planet confirmed to have liquid water on its surface. A majority of Mundis' surface is made up of the ocean, dwarfing the planet's polar ice, lakes, and rivers. The remaining portion of Earth's surface is land, consisting of continents and islands. Mundis' surface layer is formed of several slowly moving tectonic plates, interacting to produce mountain ranges, volcanoes, and earthquakes.

Mundis' atmosphere consists mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. More solar energy is received by tropical regions than polar regions and is redistributed by atmospheric and ocean circulation. Water vapor is widely present in the atmosphere and forms clouds that cover most of the planet. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere like carbon dioxide (CO2) trap a part of the energy from the STARNAME close to the surface. A region's climate is governed by latitude, but also by elevation and proximity to moderating oceans. Severe weather, such as tropical cyclones, thunderstorms, and heatwaves, occurs in most areas and greatly impacts life.

Mundis is an ellipsoid with a circumference of about 40,000 km. Mundis is about eight light minutes away from the STARNAME and orbits it, taking a year (about XXX days) to complete one revolution. Mundis' axis of rotation is tilted with respect to the perpendicular to its orbital plane around the STARNAME, producing seasons. Mundis is orbited by three permanent moons, - XXX, YYY, and ZZZ. XXX is (SIZE) and orbits Mundis at xxx; YYY is (SIZE) and orbits Mundis in an elliptical orbit, XXX at its nearest point and xxx at its farthest; ZZZ is (SIZE) and orbits Mundis at xxx in a geostationary orbit, except during its irregular periods of relocation. The satellites combine to cause tides, stabilize Mundis' axis, and gradually slow its rotation. These tidal effects are magnified during lunar convergence events, where the two largest moons (XXX and YYY) are present in the sky, especially so when these moons orbit at their closest points around Mundis.

Etymology
The term Mundis originates from the Mayyian language, meaning mundane or worldly. It received this name through its place in the contexts of Knadian cosmology, where it is perceived that the universe exists in the temporal realm and the planet exists as the metaphorical center of this temporal realm, as it hosts humanity - the core of Knadianism. The dominance of the Knadian religion throughout the continent of Vikressia has led to the widespread use of the term Mundis even in non-Mayyian languages in Vikressian cultures.

The most common adjectives for the planet Mundis are mundian or mundic. Less commonly, mundian has been used to as a collective term to refer to all intelligent life on the planet.
