Canticle has a retrograde spin, thus the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.{{book ref|tsm|7}} Its radial velocity is notably slow, at around 28.1 meters per second (62.9 miles per hour), and it has a rotational period of 10 standard hours.{{book ref|tsm|19}}{{book ref|tsm|32}}
The geography of the planet constantly changes due to the stone melting from the intense heat produced in the atmosphere, 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]].{{book ref|tsm|45}} Due to the ever changing geography erosion doesn't really take place.
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.{{book ref|tsm|19}}{{book ref|tsm|28}}
