Go ahead and do that! I don't have ships to spare. The expedition is bound to fail due to discontented penguins tired of the humans' curiosity and persistence.
Yep.Oh, you would think of that... so every day everywhere is 12 hours long?
Decloak: That does of course mean the world has no seasons at all, too. Measuring circumference is actually pretty easy. All you need to do is send somebody to the equator and have them realize it is the equator. Doing that's the hard part.Earth had Egypt, which made it simple.

Decloak: All orbits are elliptical. It's just a measure of eccentricity. Mars is rather eccentric compared to Earth (0.093 vs. 0.016) and experiences great variances depending on its orbital position, so I suppose if you did something like that with a low axial-tilt planet closer in it'd work. Of course, with (virtually) no tilt it'd be summer (perihelion) and winter (aphelion) for the whole planet, but I guess that's better than no seasons at all. Could get pretty nasty though.Cui said:Apparently, the solution is to have the planet in an elliptical orbit.

Decloak: Not true; again, see the example of Mars. If you were to take Mars and reduce it's orbital period to that of Earth's, keeping its eccentricity, it would not randomly become unstable, and would exhibit similarly extreme variances in temperature as it already does. Gravity does not function differently the closer you get to a star unless you are so close that tidal forces come into play. All the planets are basically in free fall in the Sun's gravity well; position has no bearing. Were the planets not there, you could replicate Pluto's orbit farther in and it would be perfect stable, for instance.Cui said:The point I was making was that an elliptical orbit eccentric enough to cause season-like variation would be too unstable for an inner planet to maintain.
Bladeists, Xenophobic Greek Wannabees
Good- everyone can begin screaming at me soon enough. I was just asking 'cause I need a new capital if this works.......
Huh? What do you mean by that?
I resent that! I'm more of a german-greek-turkish mix! And least its better than being a blatant rip off of China!
Oh, forgot to send Ordes in.

Rember Iggy, Emoriaans thing New Vertis Is corrupt and Stuc up, Perverting the way of the one to their whims, and have abandoned all the intent of the ones Teachings. so no rebelion by them.
