The atmosphere is most likely much thinner, as Lexiconians can breath in space. Lexicon has two rings, which would probably block light and cast a shadow.. They appear to be rock. This would make having satellite systems and interplanetary travel somewhat difficult, though it appears they have figured a way around this. It appears the sky is orange and they have a moon(?) that they can see which appears to be blue. It seems they don’t have an ocean, or if they do it is not visible from the picture. Perhaps they have water underground? There does not appear to be any dense foliage. The weather would probably be intense windstorms or meteors. The temperature overall would be low during the day, though the rings would cause it to be warmer at night.

@whyldkratts my observations of the Lexicon environment, if you’re interested

 *crack knuckle* time to t y p e

So i agree with you about the thinner atmosphere but not for the same reasons, I dont think. i imagine that since lexiconians can survive in the vacuum of space, then we can assume they don’t really need to breath to survive! They could inhabit any planet with a body like that. I figured the reason they live of lexicon is for agricultural/pride reasons. I imagine lexicon as a more mars-like planet so that’s kinda what i base a lot of my analysis on by the way. I think the lexicon atmosphere is a lot like mars back when it was warm enough to support oceans of liquid water (which I also agree is most likely under the planets surface! Either that or outsourced from somewhere else.) Mars’ soil is also show to be capable of growing plants such as radishes, peas, tomatoes, so I imagine if lexiconian soil had some of the same properties as mars then alien versions of those vegetables (version able to grow in lexiconian atmosphere) could possibly be a huge source of nutrition!

Also i believe the red star is actually lexonite mountains or, possibly, a crater from some massive impact (which might have been the thing to cause the rings in the first place?) that scrapped away part of lexicons crust to reveal the lexonite mantle beneath

I agree on your weather predictions! Wind/sandstorms sounds possible to me. I’m not sure about the placement of lexicons sun but I headcannon it as pretty warm in the day and cold at night, like the deserts on earth! The ring interference on space exploration is a huge thing too, they’d have to figure out a way to keep from crashing into the rings whenever they did anything concerning space. What a big task that would be!

anyway, those are my personal thouhts on the subject, and I am not an expert by any means. A lot of this is just speculation on things i literally just learned about through my own research

Not to butt into this post, but I’d like to share some of my own ideas about the subject! Specifically the Lexiconians.

I believe that Lexiconians still need to breathe some sort air to stay alive, but because of their planet’s conditions, their body had to improvise. Before I would have agreed with @whyldkratts in that they don’t need to breathe at all, but the fact that Becky can speak, and that she was even able to get the hiccups made me think about it a little more. As for @faircityramblings‘s theory, I don’t think space has any kind of air in it. Therefore there’d be nothing to breathe.

Instead of not needing air at all, what if they had larger lungs, and thus more room to store air? Think of it like how sperm whales can hold their breath for long periods of time while diving for food. In ‘WordGirl Makes a Mistake’, we get a nice view of Lexicon, and the domed cities on it. We can only assume those domes are full of life-sustaining air, while the surrounding planet has little of it. And because of that, it would make sense if Lexiconians needed the ability to hold their breath for awhile; not only would it be useful for traveling to other cities, or even planets, they wouldn’t need to worry about breathing equipment breaking or malfunctioning in the middle of trips.

When Becky flies into space (which she’s done quite a few times in the series), she never wears a helmet or any other devices to aid her. This could imply that, like @whyldkratts said, she doesn’t need air. But the fact that she was talking while in a completely airless space would prove otherwise. Mainly because of the fact that you need air to speak; if she was holding her breath, that would’ve allowed speech.

This is just my two cents based on what I already know, so I hope you don’t mind my addition, but I did enjoy writing it! It’s so cool to see other people wondering about Lexicon.
