Except with earth like conditions and similar temperature conditions. I saw your previous answer, and in a lot of ways that would make my job easier lol, but I still threw this out here in case someone had an answer. | |
| Mar 8, 2019 at 0:42 | comment | added | QuiGonJon | Ah, I'll have to go back and edit for clarity. The planet rotates on an axis in the same way Earth does, just much slower. Its not tidally locked, but it is rotating slow enough so that hot and cold "poles" slowly migrate along the equator. Essentially the day cycle is so long that the temperature differential creates one large Hadley cell of winds migrating from hot pole to cold pole, etc., as you would theoretically see in a tidally locked planet, and as we can observe on Venus. | |
