In a world I am building, the planet's days are longer than its years, with a single day taking 9 years. In all other ways, this planet is similar to Earth, but are there other differences I am mis...
I am looking for help on the following: Will that have any affect on the length of days and nights? Would having two moons create a higher body of water on the planet due to increased tides? (i....
If there's a habitable planet that orbits two suns like the above orbital route, what would possibly occur on that planet? Would it have two yearly seasonal cycle (compare to earth)? Would it be...
The Problem In a world I am building, the days are 9 years long, this means 4 and half years of cold darkness following 4 and a half years of blistering daylight. I have asked questions on this Ye...
On a world I am building, the day/night cycle last 9 years, meaning that there are interesting forms of life. Plants are the most interesting of these living things, which have many interesting for...
In theory I believe that if you moved far enough above the surface of the pole you should be able to reach an area where you have constant sunlight, even in the middle of winter. My question is - ...
In a few science-fiction books I've read, the world that the story takes place on doesn't have a sun, but does have a "sun belt," where (instead of a regular sun) the world is lit by a stretch of s...
In the latest Artifexian video, he talked about terrestrial moons, bringing up great ways they could and would exist. But the video ended with an interesting concept, Horseshoe Habitable Moons. F...
I've posted a previous question similar to this in the way that it is of my WIP web-comic. The planet my friend and I have designed is strange as she wanted to create either a permanently dark plan...
The question is fairly straightforward but to put a bit of context: (Slice of life): I've often noticed how even though my eyesight really isn't great* I still somehow manage seeing a lot better...
I am seeking to temporarily trap my protagonists on a wasteland. The kind I wanted to create was an icy planet that doesn't experience day or night, just a constant state of moonlight. I suppose th...
I'm thinking on the colonizing of another planet by humans. The conditions of this planet are quite different from Earth, and particularly the day-night cycle is much larger. In my fictional plane...
Is there a way for the moon to be seen at every point during the daytime? In my world it is day all the time so they have a rough concept of months, years and days. To solve this they could have mo...
How can I explain that it only rains at night (i.e. from dusk till dawn) in a certain region? Can or must I make this meteorological phenomenon apply planet-wide? Can or must I restrict rainfall...
In this hypothetical solar system the one habitable planet in question would be at center of two sun stars, one similar to our sun and the other a red dwarf. What kind of effect would this have on ...
What would happen if a planet like Earth were to be tidal locked to the sun? What effects could it have on lifeforms like plants? Would they always produce oxygen?
DISCLAIMER: This question was closed on Astronomy Stack Exchange as off topic, so I'll try my luck here. I'm trying to understand the climatic effects of the far future scenario of an Earth-like p...
Let's say my terrestrial planet has a stable circumbinary orbit around two suns similar to the Kepler-47 system, in the habitable zone, with an orbit similar to Kepler-47c. The challenge here is th...
I am considering a world with a very long light/dark cycle. However, I would like some natural method of measuring out a "day-like" period of time. Could an object with an orbital period of aroun...
How would plants be affected by a 48 hour day, instead of 24 hour? Would plants be larger to store more energy for photosynthesis? Also, how about the temperature of the earth be different on bot...
