Does the size of a planet affect the rotation speed, and by extension the day length? (Grodot is about twice the size of Earth).
Also, rather than 50% Sun, 50% moon like Earth, it’s more like 80% night, 20% day. How would that work, if it even can? If not I’ll just leave it as something magic or smth

Im not entirely an expert but I’ll give it a go with a slight amount of help from google.
It seems that the larger the planet the faster it spins.
Jupiter is the largest, so it spins the fastest.
Small planets have a day longer than Earths.
On earth, longer days and longer nights during winter and summer occurs because of Earth’s tilt
Because one hemisphere is tilted towards the sun in summer, a day is longer.
Because one hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, a night is longer.
So I suppose you could tilt the planet in a way that would make nights much longer. Although I think it would need more than just a tilt because I’m assuming you’re talking about all year it does this which I don’t think would be possible without something blocking out the sun.
Fill me in on the features grodot has as well as the orbit so I can come up with a concept why it often has more nights.
Uh…magic it is
I’m dumb as hell with this so I might have to wing it with the solar system and how everything else works, because of how weird Grodot is. but thanks for the info bro
Maybe you could do something with the ring system. It could be large enough and spread out in a way so that it eclipses the sun all year, and the sun appears 80% less than a night sky does because of the rocks and ice and gas constantly blocking it out.
This could allow for some cool scenery too.
Rings?
I thought you said grodot had rings. Sorry if you were talking about another planet
Oh, bro I forgot about it…and I thought of it smh
Yeah, those are remnants of smaller moons that got destroyed in the War for Lunite. They had about 8, but now 3.
