GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
A smaller world than Earth, Yom measures only 88 percent of Earth’s diameter and possesses only 64 percent of its mass. Gravitational attraction at the planet’s surface pulls with approximately 0.82 g. Dry land makes up approximately 35 percent of Yom’s surface, a higher percentage than Earth’s. This gives Yom 93 percent of Earth’s dry land area despite its smaller size. Oceans divide Yom’s land mass into five rather large continents and numerous smaller islands.
