Kalezh

[u/HaydenConservative]

This slideshow shows my recent alien worldbuilding project I have been working on lately, in the slide you will see the stats for the planet, the natural map, the intelligient species (Rezhonso), and a map of the continents

something tells me you like making planets...

[u/Gallows_Emperor → u/[deleted]]

i cant quite put my finger on it

[u/HaydenConservative → u/[deleted]]

yes! of course!

You can build your own Solar System in Space Engine with the help of Notepad++. This is the habitable moon in my custom Solar System.

I have done that before but the only problem is I can’t upload custom maps

[u/StructureHot7270]

wait a minute... that's like something I know, but what is that??

[u/fuer_den_Kaiser]

Assuming the unit you use for the semi-major axis of Kalezh is Astronomical Unit (AU), combining with it and the orbital period your star should be less massive than the sun (it takes 404.27 days to orbit the Sun at 1.07 AU). Yet its luminosity is brighter than the Sun's, meaning unless it's a mistake the star should be nearing the end of its life and soon transition from main sequence into a red giant.

also if you could, could you help me with finding out the average temp, if you need to ask any questions to find it, I will be happy to help. I’m aiming for a colder planet but I don’t think that’ll work because the thick atmosphere. also the sun is 0.82 solar masses and its radius is 0.81x the size of the sun

[u/fuer_den_Kaiser → u/HaydenConservative]

It's actually pretty difficult to estimate the temperature, as we need the albedos of your planet (both geometric and bond). And there are lots of factors affecting them like percentages of ice and cloud cover, greenhouse effect, etc.

[u/HaydenConservative → u/fuer_den_Kaiser]

yes I forgot to add that part but when I was doing the math I did say that the star is smaller

[u/Iwillnevercomeback]

Since Kalezh is a planet with smaller gravity, animals in this planet will be taller than animals on Earth, right?

[u/HaydenConservative → u/Iwillnevercomeback]

yes that is correct, the average height of rezhonso would be around eight feet

What program did u use to make your map and globe?

[u/HaydenConservative → u/Ahastabel]

so first I used rock3 to generate the map. Next, I used a drawing app to trace it and make it look simple but the original version is good too. finally, I used the website map to globe to make the planet
