Need help for my book!!
 |
Hello!! Not experienced in this at all, so forgive me if I get things wrong, that's actually why I'm here!!! So I'm writing a book that takes place on a different planet (technically all 'aliens' no human appearance) and I have a few things set in stone. The main planet, zophlyn is green 💚, and it's brother planet adrith is the bigger grey 🩶 one. Zophlyns orbit is crazy slow (like over hundreds of thousands of years for a full rotation, I'm taking some creative liberty on this part) Main point is zophlyn is in the shadow of it's brother planet, I did this bc I wanted a mostly dark atmosphere without taking away the stars. The thing that I'm having trouble with is one of zophlyns moons, the blue💙 orb (no official name so I'll just go with blue) Part of the problem in my book is that zophlyn does not rotate and it's back is getting slowly torn up by adriths gravity. I want zophlyn to have moons, especially one that reflects the sun onto one part of the planet to make sort of a setting sun vibe. I have an arrow of that moon (blues) rotation, would the gravity interfere greatly with it? Spacing isn't really my concern, I know I didn't go very accurate, I just want to know if what I'm wanting is possible!! Edit: okay!! So heres additional details I have that I didn't think to mention, sorry!!! My world is very connected to the gods (they make a heavy appearance) and zophlyn is powered by patches of magma!!! This is a very god driven detail but there are large pockets of magma in the ground allowing life to grow and the planet to stay warm. Reading the replies I'm not so concerned with the back being ripped up I can make that an infection caused by one of the gods, now my main question is can I keep the planet in the shadow of adrith? Is there any way, even rare, that I can make this possible? submitted by /u/viktor-arcane |
