Atmospheric conditions

This planet has winds as strong as 14,400 kph, reaching supersonic velocities. This means the planet has roughly the same temperature across the globe. These supersonic winds move so quickly, they're able to churn the planet's atmospehere and keep temperatures from dropping on the night side.
