What is Speed's home planet, Korona, and how does it compare to Earth?

1. Korona's historic background

Korona is a gigantic planet, about 1600 times wider than the orbital ring of Pluto. Korona is almost exactly 1 full light-year in circumference [Remember, Korona is in the spiritual world, not the physical world.]. Korona, 4.9 billion years ago was Speed's idea from a conflict he was having. When Speed was born in the spiritual world [most likely died in the physical world but transferred to the spiritual world], he had outrageous speed. By the time he was around 4, everyone turned against him on his old spiritual planet named "Criscoma" because no one could get as fast as he could. After a long while, a massive war started on this planet. Unfortunately, after 12,000 years of constant war, the planet's core was suddenly about to explode which made the war suddenly stop. Speed was already out exploring the universe. Upon returning to Criscoma, Speed relized all the damage done. He quickly searched the neighborhood for a decent planet to live on, but had no luck. After about 12 years of searching, he found one quite reasonable and casted a teleport spell^* to mass-move everyone from that planet to the better one. Speed then started to build his own world for all spirits to live that are to come. Despite planet conflicts besides his own, he finally finished in about 3.8 billion years. It was another 1.1 billion years until he found Earth and to being the way he is today. Note that 3.8 billion years of his life was spent making this huge planet. Despite it's size, it's gravity is about that of Earth as what Speed says [it's hollow on the inside, plus an eternal spell was used to counter much of the gravity.

2. Korona's spell system

When Speed built his planet, he noticed that he was somehow able to transfer abilities from him to someone else he chooses. Speed had plenty of spells, so he decided to transfer some of the weaker ones and relearn the ones transferred. After 400 million years of this, everyone had these highly advanced spells. After some time, Speed developed the system to how spells are named and categorized as you can see in section 2 here.

3. Korona's planetary statistics

Korona is most unlike any other planet. It has a circumference of something just shy of 1 light-year around, and 4% more gravity than Earth, both according to Speed. This table below describes other planetary statistics:

Diameter	1,871,237,000,000 miles (!)
Mass	3.401E41^*
Distance from Sun	^**
Time of rotation	154 years
Time of revolution	365 million years^***
Average temperature	57°F (14°C)
Civilian population	Over 15 quintillion spirits [estimated]
Atmospheric pressure	1.09 times Earth's (sea level)
Gravity	1.04 times Earth's

Table footnotes:
* This is about 340 duodecillion kilograms. That is, it's 340 then with 39 zeros following that.
** Korona doesn't orbit a star, rather, it orbits the black hole in the center of this galaxy [unless you want to call the black hole in the center of the galaxy a star as, in a sense, it is a star, the remains of one].
*** This value is highly questioned. It's 2500 light-years from Earth, a bit further away from the center of the galaxy.

Footnotes:
* Teleport spells are spells that allow you to move your target at massive speeds to whereever the caster chooses. To learn about it in detail or about other spells, as well as watch their effects or spells in general, see section 4 here.
