before i have to do anything with this, maybe we work out a year and day length of this planet. I propose a day of 72942.50 seconds and a year of 2.935651149e7 seconds.

did you know, in a time vulture, the main method of movement is tectonic shift.

I thought the main method of movement was using powered farts.

why would it be. it's a different planet, obviously, and the chances of the day and year length being the same are 0.

How about we just pretend that its roughly the same? Its fictional anyway.

that's roughly the same. (i need an exact amount for something)

Its supposed to be an alternate universe kind of thing, right? So why not have it be the same as Earth?

Well i don't know that it's an alternate universe, and if it is an alternate universe, the chances of having the same day and year length are still about 0. Unless there's a specific reason for being the same earth day/year length? Is there?

we're not on earth here, this is another planet. We have our year measured out to 5 decimal places+ and our day measured out to miliseconds. Considering this accuracy, the chances of another planet having the same values are infinitestimal. Anyway, i vote for another value, (the one i suggested), anyway, because i've already spent hours working on stuff around it.

How about 73390.29 seconds pr. day or something similar? I'd like the number of days pr. year to be an integer, leapy stuff is really annoying.

well there is always the option of keeping the year and days unaligned, that would fix the problem of leapy stuff. i don't think there is a big disadvantage to doing that.

It really doesn't matter to me as long as it isn't some extreme number.

A/(M^(1/3))=1.0493656
 where A is the distance to the star the planet is orbiting in AUs and M is the weight of the star in solar masses.

@smjjames the day length is about 84% of our current day length and the year length is about 107% our year length

f=((r^2*(t/5800)^4)^0.5) where r is size of star in solar radii and t is temperature in kelvins
habitable zone goes from 0.95*f to 3*f AUs.

also correction to last post:

A/(M^(1/3))=1.0493656

no pink flying squirrels would be too unrealistic as it cannot develop advanced civilization

The day length shouldn't affect climate much, however, the slightly longer year means that its slightly further from the parent star, but depending on the atmospheric composition, etc, it could easily have the same climate as Earth.

no pink flying squirrels would be too unrealistic as it cannot develop advanced civilization

I think he meant it as a joke.

Still, as far as we know, the minimum requirements to develop an advanced civilization are some kind of grasper and having human level intelligence.

No seriously, mudkipz says having the exact same stats as earth is not realistic.
Neither would having human type tech, earthlike atmosphere, or homo sapiens be realistic then?

Life created the atmosphere we live in right now, so it could still be a nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere with a little bit different mix.

It's realistic to have the same technology level.

Okay, how about this, the planet was colonized by Homo sapiens sapiens, but then a civilization collapse and dark ages of some kind hit the colony, and so, they rebuilt civilization over time.

Yeah I know they could get re-visited by people from Earth again after some centuries, but hey, alternate time line and all that.
