Talk:Chthonian planet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone know anything about the source of the name "Cthonian"?

Or furthermore, the difference between "Cthonian" and "Chthonian"? Laguna72 17:47, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Google got me: greek kthon or xthonos which literally means 'dweller under the earth'., which sounds about right given the definition of the gas giant being stripped away to leave the core. Can someone confirm? -- Tarquin 13:17, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Are there any confirmed cases of the use of "Cthonian", which is essentially a mistake?
