I haven't done much creativity on this forum, so i'm creating a planet.
Also if you have name suggestions and specific species ideas pleases suggest them and I might make them part of my planet.
Name: N/A (I have not yet thought of a name)
Mass: 0.9 EM(Earth masses)
Natural Satellites: 2. 1 major. 1 minor.
Atmospheric Mass: ~5 EA(Earth atmospheres)
Atmosphere Description: The planet possesses a thick dark atmosphere, composed of oxygen, nitrogen and volcanic smoke. The home star is only ever seen from the surface in the eyes of massive storms, although most of the time the skies above cannot be seen from the surface do to the thick, dark and constant clouds and smoke. The atmosphere is in fact toxic to humans.
Surface Description: The surface of the planet is quite hot at an average of about
50 °C , but still not too hot to harbor life(which it does(I'll explain later)).
The surface has a diversity of biomes, ranging from cloud-high peaks and rocky deserts to lush swamps and great seas. Most of the surface is made up of land, while on about a third of the surface is water. The planet is also extremely volcanic, possessing many volcanoes which provide the planet part of its atmosphere.
Biology Description: The planet does in fact possess life under the hostile conditions.
The life on this planet had to evolve under high temperatures, thick smoke and without sunlight, as such the life on this planet has evolved in very different conditions compared to earth. This is going to split into the different sections about the life on the planet for easier reading
Producers:
The base of the food chain, these are the organisms that feed the planet. There are two major groups of surface producers and two groups of aquatic producers on this planet; on land there are the Tank-producers and the Lung-producers, in the sea there are Vent-producers and the Algal-producers
Starting with the Tank-producers (they do not produce mobile artillery weapons) they make energy though a 'tank' of raw material stored inside of them, this material is heated by pumping hot water into it that makes it break down to be made into useful sugar. The raw material and water is supplied though the plants root system. As for heating the water, it is heated by pumping collected water and moving it out into branch-like stalks, the water is heated by the ambient temperature, after heating it is moved into the tank where it, along with the necessary components are made into sugars in the tank, after a batch is done it is dissolved to feed the plant and make room for the next batch.
As for the Lung-producers (like the Tank-producers, they do not produce what they say they do) they have large open, lung-like cavities, in which they gently expand and contract to draw in airborne water. They also collect there materials through there root system, but do not get there water from there. Instead they collect the water in the air, because of ambient temperature the water they collect is already heated, as such they do less work making there sugar. Although more efficient then there Tank-producing counterparts, they require constant humidity, and so they are usually only found on coasts and in swamps.
Third are the Vent-producers, they most resemble earth kelp. These grow around vents on the seafloor, to produce sugar they absorb the heated water coming from vents via leaf-like limb that collect the heated water and use a similar mechanism to Tank-producers, albeit at a smaller scale. They usually grow very tall before expanding its leaves as to let the hot water cool somewhat, as the initial temperature of the water is greater than the boiling point, this growth can sometimes go all the way to surface of the water.
Lastly there are the algal producers. They are among the most common organisms on the planet, they are similar to earth algae except instead of sunlight they use warmth. They are found anywhere with heat, nutrients and water; from the deepest of deep sea vents to the peaks of the tallest mountains, they produce food for them selves simply by using heat to break down molecules on there membrane and transfer them to within a insulated storage organelle to be made into sugar. Unlike other producers they are often pale red in color instead of the common ghostly white.

Name: N/A (I have not yet thought of a name)
Mass: 0.9 EM(Earth masses)
Natural Satellites: 2. 1 major. 1 minor.
Name: N/A-Major (Haven't named this one either)
Mass: 1.4 LM(Lunar masses)
Description: A large, close by, grey moon.
It is the closest of the two satellites.
It is mostly silicate and iron, but it also contains trace amounts of water ice and other light materials.
Name: N/A-Minor(No name for this one too)
Mass: 0.0005 LM
Description: A small, far away, silvery moon.
It is the farthest of the two satellites.
It is mostly silicate and contains a small amount of metal and very little light material.
It was likely put into its orbit by N/A-Major(This is why we need names, and i'm not good with names).
