Comments: Demeter is the second life bearing
planet around the sun Persephone, however it enjoys a much cooler climate than
Athene, and is greatly different in every respect. Atmosphere is breathable, if
rather thin, acclimatization is recommended and colony ships routinely adjust
their environmental conditions accordingly to reduce the effects on arrival.

Habitable zone description:
Planetary conditions: cool, normal ecology
Mean temperature, K: 273.01
life: assumed indigenous, but questions speculating import from athene
Atmosphere: breathable but thin
Temperature at perihelion, K: 283
Temperature at aphelion, K: 264
