More information for planets and code for greenhouse effect!

Post #1by kikinho » 02.10.2004, 23:45

Is it possible to put in the next release of Celestia more information of a planet like mass, density and gravity?
I know that there is a topic about it, but the method showed in it is very difficult to me.
Also, is it possible to put a new code for temperature like greenhouse effect in ssc files? It's because the temperature of Venus is 231K in Celestia, but this temperature is wrong, and putting a greenhouse effect code in ssc files would solve the problem.

Greenhouse effects and more information about planets can be the next requesting feature for Celestia 1.3.3. It would be nice to create a planet with 8500 km radius orbiting a K5V dwarf star in the same distance as Mars, having the same temperature as Earth and having information about gravity and density showed in the upper left of the screen.
I think Chris will be interested in my idea.

Has there been a mention of when we may expect the next release?

I'm returning with this topic because I think it's interesting to put a greenhouse value in *.ssc files. But this value should be optional. Because it would be mainly interesting to people that like to make realistic planetary systems. 8)

Now that we have the new atmospheric code, it would be cool to make, for example, a planet and moon, both with atmospheres and the same albedo, but the planet hotter because of the higher atmospheric pressure.

What do you think about this now? Do you think it's good to do this now :D, later :(, or never :cry:?
One day we will swim in the subsurface ocean of Europa and take shower in ethane lakes of Titan.
