Irk is the Irkens home planet. It's never visited directly, though part of it is seen being destroyed by Zim. By what is seen, it has a red surface and pink skies and is very fururistic-looking. It is unknow if all the planet looks like it. It is beleived to be red, but other guesses is that it is blue, but is never seen and both are equally likely.
Irk's climate, geography and topography are unknown to us, though it is theorized that with the dominance of the planet by the Irken species, the entire planet has become covered in sprawling cities and metropolises. The sky on Irk is light pink in color, like on Foodcourtia. The idea of rain puzzled Zim at first, indicating that there was no rain, if any water, on Irk. However, Zim and the Almighty Tallest have been seen drinking Irken soda several times. It is also suggested in Walk of Doom that Irk's sun does not emit Ultraviolet rays, or that Irk's ozone layer is very thick. When Zim stared at Earth's sun to determine which direction is west, his eyes burnt to a crisp, which alarmed him. His reaction was that "they booby-trapped their sun somehow!"(although this could just be because of his own stupidity and having never actually tried looking at the sun)
