The planet is either a sphere in which case yep continents, atmosphere, water, gravity, and all of that good stuff. Your planet from the perspective of physics is in one of two states. The first is a transitory state caused by the collision of two large bodies, in which case the planet is a Hades class planet of scorched lava and a toxic atmosphere. In the second state the bodies only weakly collided, ergo little to no gravity. That implies no atmosphere, and therefor no liquid water. Without water continents are not a thing. | |

Gravitational gradient would dictate that planet's "waist" would be a really low ditch where all the water will get collected, while its top and bottom would effectively become humongous mountains with no breathable air or clouds at the top. | |

| Jul 9, 2019 at 9:49 | comment | added | Leonard Greenland | @Kain0_0 So I need figure out just a mapping for my alien planet. I watched Artifexian videos about building planets and I'm still unsure does Pangaea or some clusters of giant archipelagos suits on this planet. | |

Depending upon fluids on the planet, etc... the spin axis will quickly (years-centuries) orient itself to be perpendicular to the long axis. Secondly the planet is geologically unstable, or has negligible gravity. The dwarf planets in our solar system are large enough to have gravitically become orbs, but are still (largely) too light weight to hold water. But hey, you can make this world whatever you want. | |
