Composition

Arial's atmosphere primarily contains nitrogen, although trace amounts of methane and hydrogen are present as well. It is toxic to humans; breathing equipment is required. Surface conditions on the moon tend to be hazy, and its temperature causes shimmering refraction effects, further reducing visibility.

Chemical Formula Full Name Amount
N Nitrogen 97.7%
CH4 Methane 1.8%
H Hydrogen 0.53%

Trivia

While initially named Ariel, this was changed to Arial on the approach to implementation in Alpha 3.3, likely to disambiguate from Uranus' moon Ariel which is present on the ARK Starmap.
