Orbit and Rotation
Kurato is tidally locked to Stratos, similar to that of Loftuslo, and completes an orbit around the planet about every 13.5 days. Curiously, the moon has a relatively large axial tilt for a tidally locked moon, even moreso than the Moon, making for slight variations in which portions of the moon's surface can be seen on the Stratoshian surface.
