TITHONUS' PLANETOLOGY

TITHONUS' PLANETOLOGY

 G0 sun, Eos. 1.02 sol mass, lum 1.2. Tithonus is at 1.4 a.u. out...half the irraditation of Earth, 30 degrees colder than Earth, on average. Year 2.2 times earth's year. Very similar to Earth density, .88 the diameter,.88 g. Higer zone of suitable air pressure for life. Two moons, Memmon and Emanthion. Day 1.5 Earth's...36 hours. Fewer storms, hurricanes, etc.

Memmon is one-fourth the size of Lunda and 500,000 miles out, so is only one-eigth the size of Lunda in the sky. Its month is 56 days long. Emanthion is one-tenth the size of Luna, but only 100,000 miles out, so is one-fourth the size of Luna in the sky. Emanthion exerts Luna-like tidal effects, and its "month" is only 10 days long.
