In the Galaxy, you will come across planets known as Arid Planets. They have usually no water or lava on the surface (They may sometimes have only a very small amount of lava), and have a thick atmosphere. The temperature is quite hot, but otherwise they're similar to Rocky Planets. The color of their terrain is typically orange. They are usually found on red solar orbits, but they are occasionally found on green orbits, closer to the star they're orbiting. They're usually a little farther away from the star than Lava Planets.
