**Bortron 7** is the seventh planet orbiting the red dwarf star Bortron. The Propulsion family comes from Bortron 7. The Propulsion family visits Bortron 7 in *Back to Bortron 7*.

Bortron 7 is warm and dry. It is orange with purple patches. From far away, the orange looks red, but its surface is actually orange.

## History

Long ago, the Bortronians built so many cities that they ran out of space. They also piled up trash. But they solved those problems by building cities underground and recycling, respectively.

## Trivia

* Including Bortron 7, there are 9 planets orbiting Bortron.
	+ Bortron 1, which is very smooth.
	+ Bortron 2, which is lumpy.
	+ Bortron 3, which is upside-down.
	+ Bortron 4 is swampy.
	+ Bortron 5 is 'dead'.
	+ Bortron 6 has a hiccuping moon. In *Space Junk*, Jet mentions that it's very humid there. However, this is contradicted in *Water, Water Everywhere* when he claims that Bortron 6 has a lot of ice.
	+ Bortron 8 is 'so boring'. Similar to Bortron 9, it is very cold there.
	+ Bortron 9 is freezing.
* Bortron 7 has three moons.
* 6 Bortronian months are equal to 1 Earth hour.
* 1 Earth year is equal to six Bortronian years. Jet, who is 63 in Bortronian years, would be 10 in earth years, while Carrot, who is 250, would be approximately 42 in earth years. This is proven in this old page
* As revealed in *I Feel the Earth Move*, Bortron 7 has a hiccuping volcano.
* Bortron had its very own server in the defunct PBS Kids game, Kart Kingdom. It replaced the Sodor server from *Thomas and Friends*.
* The way the Bortronian city looks is similar to how the trash city looks in the 2008 Pixar film *WALL-E*. Also, the Bortronians had buried the planet with trash.
* 7 is a number of significance. In the Bible, 7 is the number of completeness and perfection (both physical and spiritual). It derives much of its meaning from being tied directly to God's creation of all things. The number 7 is also important in Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism. This fits with how Bortron 7 is the ideal planet in the Bortron system.
* According to *A Star is Born*, Bortronians celebrate the births of new stars orbiting their neighborhood.
* Pets are bathed in chocolate shakes on Bortron 7.
* Bortronian culture emphasizes positivity, kindness, and perseverance. They actually like making mistakes, are incredibly nice, and there's no word for 'boredom' or 'failure' in their language.
* Bortronian language incorporates silly sound effects and face-contorting movements.
* Bortronians who discover things in space are labeled “Bortronauts", as mentioned by Zerk.
* As mentioned in *Every Day is Earth Day*, Bortronians celebrate Bortron 7 Day, a day similar to Earth Day, but with Bortronian folk dances.
* According to Craig Bartlett, the Bortronians technically have no biological sex, but most of them still present as either masculine or feminine and use the corresponding pronouns and terms.
