    which is neither, because perfectly even, perfectly straight-on orbits are more an anomaly than not, thus making 'half burnt, half frozen, tiny bit livable' unlikely) would have a generally very balmy (probably perpetually cloud covered from evaporation) area and a generally fucking frigid area opposite that, which would generate some unreal windspeeds

    as air circulated around the planet to redistribute heat.

    If life sprung up on such a planet, or a spess colony for some reason WASN'T mass-utilizing fusion power or something similarly, the winds would be so strong and so constant that wind power would serve basically all the power demands of a reasonable society

    on top of the fact that it would still be eternally daytime for a large part of the habitable area of the planet. (Though daytime is probably only about as bright as twilight on earth, visibly - you'd need an infrared powered solar panel somehow, to exploit that)

    At the same time, skirts and dresses are fucking useless on such a planet. Wearing one would be the equivalent of saying "I never go outside".

    And thus would be a status symbol -- "I'm so rich, I don't need to do anything?" Or more like the equivalent of pajama pants -- "I'm not going anywhere today, so I didn't bother getting dressed?"

    A world like that would be two massive deserts, a hot desert of rock and sand, and a cold desert of rock and snow. In-between would be a band of temperate climate stretching across the planet's surface.

    Probably both, cheese.

    When you say that, tehelgee, are you jokingly declaring that the small portions permanently in day and in night would be deserts while the rest would be moderate?
    It's equally likely, if not moreso, that the most sun-drenched part of the planet would be oceanic or an ultra-humid hothouse which supplies immense amounts of clouds for the rest of the planet instead of a desert.

    Though I suppose that patch of ocean would still be a 'desert' because it never rains there - rain just comes from there.

    I think "desert" in this case means that not many plants/animals would live there permanently.

    The middle of the "deserts" would be very close to 0%, then the closer you get to the band of habitable area the more life you would see.

    1. There are skirts and dresses with wire frames that wouldn't flip, although you'd run the risk of taking off.

    2. The ocean around the subsolar region wouldn't be a desert, and wouldn't supply clouds to the rest of the planet. It'd be where most of the planet's rainfall occurred, as the air rose and dumped the vast majority of its water.
