| Jan 30, 2018 at 20:18 | comment | added | Len | Hmmmm... that's what I thought. I'm handwaving the oxygen part, but is it because oxygen as a gas could not exist in such a scenario or that it would escape quickly? | |

| Jan 30, 2018 at 18:52 | comment | added | Len | Is It is a habitat that it survivable by a human, In terms of the affects of the suns rays, or do you foresee major issues? | |
| Jan 30, 2018 at 18:48 | comment | added | L.Dutch♦ | Short answer: no. Less short answer: climate models are a hell of a non linearity and cross dependencies.... | |
| Jan 30, 2018 at 18:45 | comment | added | Len | Would everything be half as much in that area of shared atmosphere? Half as much heat, but also half as much light. etc.? | |
