I CHANGED MY MIND! It's a planet made predominately of wax, like 40% wax. Water takes up 25%, metal and rock 33%, and other stuff like gases takes up the remainder. The planet, called Candelus, has tectonics made of different types of wax, which are the types I listed. It all moves under liquid wax, which is kept warm by compression and the hot, radioactive core. Hmm, since it's a planet made with wax as a key ingredient, should it have a moon that's almost entirely made of glass? I can say that a planetoid made predominately of silicon compounds passed through the sun's corona and was completely liquefied. It was then thrown into an orbit that let it cool evenly and it was gravitationally caught by Candleus, and coincidentally started orbiting Candleus in a way that twice an orbit it would reach the distance where all the sunlight it's refracting would be narrowed to a mile-wide point at the surface if it was in front of the planet. Of course, the orbit also was eccentric, off the plane of the ecliptic by a lot, and it took two months to complete one orbit, so the horrific solar 'anti-eclipse' did not happen every year. Still, if people were to come to Candelus, they'd need a massive evacuation plan so people didn't perish from disintegration and vaporization if the moon targeted an area.
