Zeredek Gallente Vanguard Venture	Posted - 2010.06.11 17:38:00 - [1] Do temperate planets not have north and south poles?? In fact, why don't they have any glaciers at all? Originally by: CCP Zymurgist CONCORD scrambles, Pod Pilots Scramble, but Faction Navy captains can't squeeze a warp scrambler with the Quafe and cookie dispensing mid-slot modules.
Abrazzar	Posted - 2010.06.11 17:40:00 - [2] They are filtered out for your viewing pleasure. It's a computer generated image anyway. If you want glaciers, go to a ice planet. There the ice matters. -------- All I want is a better mankind.

Professor Tarantula Hedion University	Posted - 2010.06.11 18:08:00 - [6] Temperate actually means "having a moderate climate which especially lacks extremes in temperature". Earth isn't a temperate planet, but it does have temperate zones. I don't know if it's even possible for an entire planet to be temperate. My deepest sympathies. Prof. Tarantula, Esq.
Dan O'Connor Cerberus Network Dignitas.	Posted - 2010.06.11 20:34:00 - [7] Originally by: Professor Tarantula Earth isn't a temperate planet, but it does have temperate zones. I don't know if it's even possible for an entire planet to be temperate. Don't think so... Being a round ball (ideally), the top and bottom will always be further away from the star than the equatorial zone. It's just a few thousand kilometers maybe, but it does make a difference.

It's not the distance, it's the angle. the further away from the equator you get, the more angled the surface of the sphere is, compared to something "in front" of the sphere, so the same amount of light arrives, but is spread over a larger area, thus has less effect.

CCP Zymurgist Gallente C C P	Posted - 2010.06.11 21:36:00 - [10] Originally by: DuKackBoon It's not the distance, it's the angle. the further away from the equator you get, the more angled the surface of the sphere is, compared to something "in front" of the sphere, so the same amount of light arrives, but is spread over a larger area, thus has less effect. You know I have always wondered about that. Thanks DuKackBoon! Zymurgist Community Representative CCP Hf, EVE Online Contact Us

I see... learned something new! We get Seasons because of the Earth's tilt. The distance from the Sun has very little impact.
Professor Tarantula Hedion University	Posted - 2010.06.11 23:43:00 - [14] Edited by: Professor Tarantula on 11/06/2010 23:44:56 Originally by: Dan O'Connor Originally by: Professor Tarantula Earth isn't a temperate planet, but it does have temperate zones.

Being a round ball (ideally), the top and bottom will always be further away from the star than the equatorial zone. It's just a few thousand kilometers maybe, but it does make a difference. But all planets are not the same as ours. For example, we now know life existing on a planet isn't as dependant on the 'goldilocks zone' distance from the sun, because for one thing, heavy atmospheres can insulate the planet and make the temperature more constant regardless of distance to the sun. It might be possible with those conditions temperatures could be spread fairly even everywhere, but like i said, i don't know for sure. My deepest sympathies. Prof. Tarantula, Esq.

Actually the light is not spread over a larger area, it just simply reflects off more due to the angle & therefore more radiation/ heat leaves than at an equator...
