Solyth is the second planet of the Valentine system in the planet pack Extrasolar.
Stationary orbit around Solyth is not possible — it would require an altitude of 40 250.64 km, outside of Solyth's sphere of influence.
In-Game Description[]
| “ | An arid planet devoid of life. Despite this, Solyth still has a atmosphere rich in oxygen. It is believed that Solyth has recently undergone a mass extinction and the oxygen was left by the now dead life forms. — Kerbal Astronomical Society |

Atmosphere[]
Solyth has an atmosphere just thick and dense enough to support pockets of liquids on its surface. The atmosphere has a sea level pressure of 45.60 kilopascals (0.45 atmospheres), and a depth of 55 000 meters.
Like all other atmospheres in the game, Solyth's atmosphere fades exponentially as altitude increases. The scale height varies with altitude. The pressure-altitude profile is globally constant and independent of temperature. The following table gives the atmospheric pressure at various altitudes above the datum level.
| Altitude (m) | Pressure (Pa) | Pressure (atm) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 45 596 | 0.450 |
| 10 000 | 4 725 | 0.047 |
| 20 000 | 405.9 | 0.004 |
