Out of curiosity I tried to ponder over numbers of days each of planets mentioned in TP take to rotate around their stars. I couldnt make any calculations for Bakaratini because the number of days in the planets year was never mentioned. But for the rest of the planets I used this formula to get the distance to the star: orbital period (T) squared = semi-major axis (a) cubed: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-major_axis. Then its possible to calculate the mass of the planets star using this formula: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_mass All in all it appears that all the planets that have stable life going for many millions of years are located in the green zone, just as our experts predicted. It may be questionable how accurate this is considering that number of minutes in an hour isnt mentioned for some planets (Planet X, Aremo X3) and I used our 60 minutes and 60 seconds for them. Still, seems like the stars of those planets are very similar to or sun, making them G-type main sequence stars: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-type_main-sequence_star. I heard somewhere that its a perfect spot as well for life to exist because these stars dont burn up their resources too quickly or too slow. Earth - 86400 seconds in a day * 365.242 = 31556908.8 sec - 149 598 261 km - Star Mass 1.9891e+30 kg Aremo X3 - 97200 seconds in a day * 295 = 28674000 sec - 140 342 097.716 km - Star Mass 1.9899e+30 kg Thiaoouba - 100100 seconds in a day * 333 = 33333300 Earth sec - 155 160 552.399 km - Star Mass 1.9899e+30 kg Planet X - 75600 seconds in a day * 402 = 30391200 sec - 144 071 741.816 km - Star Mass 1.9163e+30 kg Pages from which the data was taken: Aremo X3 (p.22): At present, we have no record of anyone older than 38 years, and a year on this planet is 295 days of 27 hours. On Bakaratini (p.32) a week comprises six days of 21 hours each. No mention of number of days in a year Arkis Planet X (p.119): our year lasts four hundred and two 21- hour-days. Thiaoouba (p.60): Our year consists of 333 days of 26 karses. A karse is a period of 55 lorse, a lorse comprising 70 kasios, and a kasio being almost equivalent to one of your seconds. (Now there’s a sum for you...)
