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 along with Dres, is one of the only planets 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

Topographical image of Moho.

As of 0.18 Moho surface ranges from light brown highlands to dark brown Maria. the surface is heavily cratered; contrary to the previous version there are no longer large volcanoes on Moho and it now looks much more like a Mercury analogue.

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.
