Basically, I am trying to figure things out like how often they see M1 from M2, if possible, in what phases. When/How often M2 experiences eclipses or other such events, it will tie into how certain outer spiritual realms will interact with M2.

Basically, before it was stated that the restrictions were too tight. For instance; picking what type of Sun forced the Goldilocks zone to be in a particular area. Or The planet's size in the moon's sky helped with the distance the moon was from the planet. But that made the path borderline...

Good afternoon, everyone. I have spent some time thinking about the information you previously provided and how that would work or might look from the surface of the M2. Dave, as you mentioned some of these calculations came out of some tighter restrictions. Let's say we start over? My...

Thank you for all the work you put into this. I really appreciate the help. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I was sick and couldn't get to my PC. (Doing better now though.) So, M2 has fewer days per year than Earth. Do the hour per day we previously talked about on post 7 still apply?

So, does the change the calendar and hours per day for the M2 that we previously discussed?

I found a unit converter and you're right based on the density the planet would be about 2.09 sols and from what I was reading 1.6 is really the most a rocky planet can handle. Based on: https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/9948/is-there-a-theoretical-maximum-size-for-rocky-planets...

I was concerned with making it a gas giant due to what I was reading about radiation impacting potential life on the moons. If it was a gas or ice giant do you think that would be an issue?

Okay, I think... 9.196g/cm3 If I used this site resource correctly. https://rechneronline.de/planets//density.php I put the diameter of Uranus, 50,700 km, under Kilogram per cubic meter. And then looked at what the density of Earth would be because Earth is a silicate. Or am I just confusing...

Oh, definitely not too close. If it makes sense, about 8% bigger than what we see the Full Moon as? Like a Supermoon.

Velocity. But if Period is more useful, I am willing to alter terms. My brain and science, as much as I love it don't always meet in the middle.

What if I was thinking 16 months with 32 hour days for Moon 2? Would that help?

Ideally, I think I would like to aim for a climate and coax the moons into an arrangement to fit. I think I was concerned doing that would make for something really unreasonable/unbelievable which is why I started looking into orbital mechanics. I was thinking of something that had Earth-like...

I did give rough sizes of the moons by mentioning planets in our solar system I imagine as similar sizes. But I am not sure what the orbit patterns/size needs to be or even what axis angle they need to be on to have life supported on the second Moon.

Good afternoon, I am working on writing a story that is set on a habitable second Moon. I suppose I could easily say it's a mild planet that splits into three main seasons and make up some story about how the first Moon appears every so often for a month of phases and then vanishes. As a...

Thank you for the welcome and the direct link, Frabjous. It's actually because of that forum I decided to join. I was very excited when I found it. :wink:
