It spins fast partly counteracting its gravity and flattening it out. That would be neat here too because the sun would appear to race around the perimeter and the long shadows would wheel around wildly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesklin | |

I guess I forgot to specify that tidal lock is ruled out, because everywhere on the planet must receive day at least some of the time. | |
