Jul 25, 2019 at 16:05 comment added Brydon Gibson Wouldn't a year then become the day/night cycle? As the planet's rotational period is slow, the orbital period is unchanged. Or is the tidal (almost) locking done in such a way that it takes 9 orbital periods to have one light/dark cycle?

Jul 17, 2015 at 17:13 comment added TrEs-2b To Micheal, yes it is and to Doug it is only 4 degrees! so the seasons are barely noticable
Jul 17, 2015 at 17:06 comment added Doug Warren What's the axial tilt of this planet? Keep in mind the phenomenon of "midnight sun". Maybe some species would cluster around the poles to leverage this effect. Or, the axis could lie almost in the plane of the planet's orbit, which would have serious effects on the light/dark cycle.
Jul 17, 2015 at 17:01 comment added user @majornorwal So one rotation period (one sunrise to next sunrise, for example) is equal to 8.89 orbital periods of the planet? (Compare Earth having a rotation period of about 24 hours and an orbital period of about 365 times that.)

Jul 17, 2015 at 16:42 comment added Frostfyre Just to be clear, is this nine years of daylight or nine years from midnight to midnight?
