The thing is, each night/day cycle lasts aproximatly 6 months. Your question has essentially the poles' lifestyle has an awnser | |

GREATLY improved the title (it was… well… lacking, to be kind)

| Jul 20, 2015 at 3:09 | comment | added | iAdjunct | How exactly is a "year" defined if a day is longer? What does #2 mean? Same goes for #3. @Samuel has a lot of valid points... You'll also have a LOT of seasonal depression (far worse than Alaska). You'll have some massive temperature fluctuations over the years too. I'm not sure this planet would be particularly habitable by humans without a climate-controlled biosphere which artificially created a 25-hour day/night cycle. | |

| Jul 17, 2015 at 23:41 | comment | added | Samuel | Are you trying to create a world that has creatures which evolved on Earth, but not live on this long day planet? You might consider trying a less Earth-centric approach to the plant and animal life. Let the creatures evolve on your planet instead of trying to fit our creatures somewhere they don't belong. | |

I'm assuming you have a good explanation on one of your other questions, but you'd be able to get more answers if you didn't depend on SE-goers to visit all your questions in order. | |
