If it is, your world will not experience the seasons (as they're cause by the variation in distance from the surface of Earth to the sun) - think equatorial weather, but even more constant | |

I don't think this question can be answered without info about oceans and seas.. Middle Earth had a large ocean and one land mass, with an irregular coast line. It would be nice - for the weather - to have some evaporation of water and land inward winds, so the sun should also illuminate the water, or at least the coastal region. There are no tides and no Coriolis, so I think you'll need some way to transport air, resulting in winds. | |
