Pontret [p.O.n-ch.r.(u.t] is the name of the planet on which Pontragolia is sited.

Physical Properties
Pontret is smaller than Earth, more closely matching Mars. However, its core is proportionally larger.As a whole, Pontret is therefore denser and has a slightly stronger gravitational field, at aound 1.12g.

Climate
Pontragolia is a sizeable land mass, and so features a variety of climates. Pontret is warmer than Earth, being slightly closer to its star, Ro-a and having a proprtioanlyl larger core which reaches closer to the planet's surface. These things mean Pontret experiences temperatures between 30 and 50 degrees Celsius warmer than average Earth temperatures.

There is no ice at the poles due to the higher temperatures. Pontret is also wetter than Earth, with a damper atmosphere and a higher ocean-to-land ratio.

Atmosphere
The atmosphere of Pontret contains less oxygen and pure nitrogen than that of Earth, with far more ammonia.

Relationship to Other Heavenly Bodies
Pontret is the planet second closest to its star, Ro-a. Between Ro-a and Pontret is the planet Fusas, with planets Sareya, Moyasi and Fornagas beyond.

Pontret has orbiting around it two natural satellites. Hesk is closer to Pontret than the irregularly-orbiting Musle.
