Largest stable object in "daily" orbit
+0
−0
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 around 24 hours be large enough to show up as a "moon"? I'd like it to be large enough to pass in front of the sun and cause at least a partial eclipse every pass.
If an earth-size planet makes this too problematical, a larger planet may work better.
