The planet has a low scale height, thus the thickness of the atmosphere thins rapidly with increasing altitude, with the end of the inner atmosphere being set at around one-thousand feet (304.8 meters) from the surface.{{book ref|tsm|19}}{{book ref|tsm|28}} Due to this, mountains reach into outer space, and are impassible to the planet's inhabitants.
The atmosphere is unnaturally resistant to the flow of Investiture, causing it to produce these large amounts of heat via [[wikipedia:Joule heating|joule heating]].{{book ref|tsm|45}} The amount of heating is directly proportional to the amount of Investiture flowing through it, thus, the Investiture reflected off the rings on the dark (10-20 BEU/h) side causes negligible heating.{{book ref|tsm|5}}
