Aphrodia

Aphrodia is the smallest planet in the Solar System and the closest to Solia. Its orbit around Solia takes 87.97 Terrania days, the shortest of all Solia's planets. It is named after the Erusian god Aphrodius (Aphrodia), god of commerce, messenger of the gods, and mediator between gods and mortals, corresponding to the Cherezian god Hempa. Aphrodia orbits Solia within Terrania's orbit as an inferior planet, and its apparent distance from Solia as viewed from Terrania never exceeds 28°. This proximity to Solia means the planet can only be seen near the western horizon after sunset or the eastern horizon before sunrise, usually in twilight. At this time, it may appear as a bright star-like object but is often far more difficult to observe than Yeles. From Terrania, the planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, which recurs over its synodic period of approximately 116 days.
