Feature request: axial tilt effect on day/night #26

Open SaucyPigeon opened 4 years ago

SaucyPigeon commented 3 years ago

The length of a day/night cycle is determined by the rotation speed of the planet. The faster it rotates, the shorter the day is. (Rotation period)

When a planet has an axial tilt, the hours of daylight at a specific point changes throughout its year (the amount of time it takes to orbit its star).

See #43 which is related to orbits, planetary rotation.

Need to establish how many degrees each axial tilt level is. From there, we can use equations to figure out the rest.
