This world’s average surface temperature is 42°c. Has a day length of 12 hours and 5 minutes. Has an obliquity of 87°. And, has a mainly oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere that is 4.76 the pressure of Earth’s ...

I am currently building a planet that weighs about 4 earth masses and is 2.3 earth radii long. It is an ammonia planet (as the title suggests), and has ammonia oceans with some dissolved water ice, ...

In a sci-fi scenario, human explorers have discovered a binary of G0 stars, each one 105% as wide, 110% as massive and 126% as bright as our sun. Orbiting this binary within its habitable zone is an ...

My planet is tidally locked to a red dwarf, which itself orbits a yellow sun like our own. It has roughly the same atmospheric conditions as Earth (perhaps a slightly thicker atmosphere, but not ...

Here's the set up on this system I have: The sun is .99 solar mass, .97 luminosity. The world in question has the following orbital parameters: Dist: 1.253 AU Orbital Period: 1.41 (rel. to Earth) ...

After researching on and off for a few months, I thought I had how a Carbon Planet would work down right, up to and including an ammonia-based xenobiology, but a video I saw today got me wondering if ...

I am in the process of working out the climate zones for a custom continent. Two of the defining features are its poleward placement in the Southern Hemisphere and the large mountain range running ...

What would the weather patterns be like on an Earth with a more homogenous distribution of land and ocean? That is, keep the overall amount of water the same, the ratio of water to land the same (...

The existence of closed seas makes it difficult to me, especially the East one. I have it clear that in the souteast region the climate would be influenced by monzoon, but if the world has only one ...

I'm currently working on a project with a binary planetary system (both planets are around .8 earth mass with some variation), and naturally, the planets are tidally locked to each other, leading to a ...

This is my first attempt at worldbuilding anything at this point. I heavily modelled my first planet after the Earth as my baby steps. I wanted to experiment with how climates on the planet would be ...

Ok so i created a gas giant with 10 Jupiter masses and like 9 moons between 0.8 and 1.5 earth masses. All exept the most distanced of those moons are tidally locked to the gas giant and their axial ...
