Moho
Moho is the innermost planet of the Kerbol star system. It is the smallest planet, although it is not the smallest celestial body. It is the only planet known to be tidally locked to Kerbol and the only planet with no natural satellites. As of version .18, Moho is now farther out, is no longer tidally locked, and is far easier to land on.

Topography
The surface is very mountainous, with surprisingly few craters. The crust almost looks fractured. Up close it is much redder than in the map view and has many white dots. There are two volcanoes (Shown as red circles in the topographic map) on Moho.
Atmosphere
Moho has an extremely thin atmosphere.

During dawn and dusk, Moho's sky is bluer than its normal red color.
Orbital Statistics
Geosynchronous orbit around Moho is not possible — it would require an altitude of 0.00 m, outside of Moho's sphere of influence.
For a semisynchronous orbit of ½ Moho day (307.75 hours or 1,107,882 seconds) an orbit of 0.00 m above Moho is needed with a velocity of 0.00 m/s.
