Planota

Planota is a polysemous proper noun used across speculative fiction, fictional geography, and occasional theoretical discourse. The word does not refer to a single, widely recognized object or place.

The form Planota appears to be a neologism likely built from plan- (from Latin planus or planum meaning flat or level) combined with a suffix such as -ota, a pattern common in fictional naming. In published uses, the term is typically treated as a name rather than a descriptive term.

Geography and places: In some fictional worlds, Planota denotes a coastal nation or island archipelago in southern seas, described as diverse in ecology and culture. In other maps, Planota is a city-state within a larger continent.

Astronomy and science fiction: Planota is used as the name of a planet or moon in several science fiction narratives, sometimes featuring rings or oceans and a habitability profile that varies by author. Other uses include placeholder world-building and, more rarely, theoretical references in linguistic or philosophical discussions.

Because Planota is not a standardized term, citations are context-specific and sources are found within the works that use the name.
