That's one heck of an orbit

[Fridgster]

Every year (earth year) we get snow this time of year. Shouldn't we get snow more often? If there are 12 UO days in one earth day that means that it takes 4,380 UO days for us to go from winter to winter. That is one heck of an orbit. It also means that we must be pretty distant from our UO star so why do we not have snow all the time? These are the things that keep me up at night.

I am wondering why there is no dusk and no dawn. Sunlight gets switched on and off within milliseconds. Think about what that says about the relationship between the planet on which Sosaria is located and its star - and about their movement mechanics! Isnt that strange?

To answer both above posts I'll say this. Sosaria orbits around a red giant, that has about 40+ solar masses,at about 5.2 AU's give or take a few hundred-thousand km's, the same as Jupiter from the Sun. Sosaria, in my opinion, is tidally locked(somehow) and the only reason we have dark is that one of the moons eclipses the sun every few hours. Only thing is that if we have a moon that is close enough to totally eclipse a red giant, it's close enough to throw a rock at.

Plausible. I buy that!

Or....for the simple fact that Sosaria is a world full of magic of all kinds, the snow and colder weather could be the result of a hyper-powerful mage playing with the por corp wis spell.

Y'all need to watch more youtube.. it's obvious..

Actually, with the way the maps act, Sosaria would look like a torus (donut)...

Nothing about the day/night cycle or "seasons" make logical sense.

.... unless... Sosaria is the center of the universe and the star circles around us!
