Cradus 6D

Description
A gas dwarf is a gas planet with a rocky core that has accumulated a thick envelope of hydrogen, helium, and other volatiles, having as result a total radius between 1.7 and 3.9 Earth radii (1.7–3.9 R⊕). The term is used in a three-tier, metallicity-based classification regime for short-period exoplanets, which also includes the rocky, terrestrial-like planets with less than 1.7 R⊕ and planets greater than 3.9 R⊕, namely ice giants and gas giants.[1] No gas dwarfs are known to exist in the Solar System, but they are common in other planetary systems.
Smaller gas planets and planets closer to their star will lose atmospheric mass more quickly via hydrodynamic escape than larger planets and planets farther out.[2][3]
The smallest known extrasolar planet that is likely a "gas planet" is Kepler-138d, which has the same mass as Earth but is 60% larger and therefore has a density that indicates a thick gas envelope.[4]
A low-mass gas planet can still have a radius resembling that of a gas giant if it has the right temperature.[5]

Cradus 6D, was found in 2009 with the planet-hunting telescope Keplar as it s mission is to seek out Exoplanet s and habitable planets. Cradus 6D is way outside its solar system making it the last Gas Dwarf in a six planetary system.
This Celestial bodied Planet has a 1687 day orbit around its host star, But this planet is slowly dying Gas has escaped into space due to loss of atmosphere keeping it in. Also this planet has no poles so it doesnt spin leaving one side dark 24 hrs a day
Hope you enjoy

What are the minerals on this?

I've gotten GHOSTXV's permission to continue work on the various planets that they made. I will be updating them to fix various issues, such as pink textures, missing texture assets, and bad names of files in the configs.
Keep in mind, there's a load of planets that I need to fix, and I'm currently trying to balance mod work and getting my work situation squared away.

OOH THE COLORS! :D
