Canticle is around 161 km in radius, or around 0.025 cosmere standard, though it has an extremely large and dense Invested iron core. This iron core increases its mass enough so that it has a gravity of around 0.7g.{{cite}}{{ref|group=fn|text=This would make for a mass of approximately 2.66 * 10<sup>21</sup> (0.000446 Earth), and an extreme density of 152.51 g/cm<sup>3</sup> (27.68 Earth), this is substantially denser than the average planetary core (9.9-12.2 g/cm<sup>3</sup>), and thus suggests an unnatural origin.}}
The planet is orbited by a system of rings with several divisions, these rings play an important role in reflecting sunlight at the night side of the planet, keeping it from complete darkness.{{cite}} These rings have an unknown orbital inclination, as they are not centered at the equatorial region of Canticle and have a notable angle relative to the equatorial plane.{{cite}}
The geography of the planet constantly changes due to the stone melting from the intense heat from the sun and the radiation of its Invested core.{{cite}}
