Canticle is around 161 km in radius, or around 0.025 cosmere standard, though it has an extremely large and dense Invested iron core.

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}}
Canticle has a retrograde spin, thus the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.{{book ref|tsm|7}}
 
The geography of the planet constantly changes due to the stone melting from the intense heat fromproduced in the sunatmosphere, and the radiation of its Invested core.{{cite}} This intense heat is produced by the atmosphere being unnaturally resistant to the flow of Investiture, causing it to produce large amounts of heat via [[wikipedia:Joule heating|joule heating]].{{cite}}
 
The thickness of the atmosphere thins rapidly with increasing altitude, with the end of the atmosphere being set at around one-thousand feet from the surface.{{cite}}
The sun the planet orbits is highly invested.{{wob ref|15602}}
