Long term effects of erosion What could be the effects of erosion on a rocky Earth-sized planet on a universal time scale (in the order of $10^{40}$ years)? Let's assume that: The source of sunlight is endless and almost constant, occasionally dipping in intensity causing global cooling. Generally it's sufficient to maintain c... (more) |

Climate on a world with a Sun of varying luminosity Given the daylight cycle discussed here (see the graph in the selected answer), suppose that the moon revolves in the equatorial plane, at a distance sufficient to light (barely) the poles, avoiding a snowball scenario. Suppose also that the maximum illumination at one instant (at the maximum of the ... (more) |

It is orbited by an artificial moon which shines and serves as the planet's sun. However, it cannot glow constantly, because the energy it gathers (through unknown means involving alternate dim...
