Bespin is a large gas giant that has no landmasses, but its upper atmosphere of billowing clouds hosts an envelope of breathable air called the Life Zone where a variety of life forms have evolved. Local inhabitants have established floating colonies here such as Cloud City, a popular resort and mining town. Bespin's chief and most profitable export is precious tibanna gas that is used to power blasters and other energy weapons. Most of the layers of gas were poisonous, and the pressure and temperature were far above what a human could tolerate. But from approximately 150 to 180 kilometers down from space, there was a habitable layer known as the Bespin Life Zone. This layer had an oxygen atmosphere with temperature and pressure suitable for human life. It was in this layer that Cloud City was located. Like most gas giants, Bespin had a number of moons. It had a 12 hour day, and completed a revolution around its sun about every 14 years.
