[Polaris-9b] is part of a compact planetary system where gravitational interactions with a nearby star and a massive moon cause significant tidal effects. This atmospheric variability leads to changes in surface gravity on the planet, as well as intermit- tent and sometimes violent winds. In response to the variations in gravity and wind, Nerina vortix has a helical and flexible shape, allowing it to bend and straighten.
