Solar System

The Solar System is a binary star system made up of 6 planets, each of which was submitted by a different person on the Wizdingo forums. The stars that sit at the center of system orbit around each other: one is small and yellow while the other is big and white.

## Clown Planet

Clown Planet is a medium sized terrestrial planet with no moons (yet). Its surface resembles the face of a clown. It is the main setting of History Sandbox and was originally submitted by BreadProduct.

Clown Planet is a stagnant lid planet, meaning is has no plate tectonics. This means that the planet's continents will not drift as time goes on.

Clown Planet's axial tilt is practically nonexistent, as such seasons are only dictated by two factors: how close it is to the stars in its orbit and which of the two stars is currently in front of the planet.

### **Fluids and continents**

It has 5 distinct oceans of various fluids each with a different flavor:

- The yellow fluid is salty and dense

- The green fluid is toxic and sour

- The blue fluid is bitter and fresh

- The pink fluid is glittery and sugary

- The orange fluid is hot and spicy.

The planet has 6 easily distinguishable continents divided by their color and the fluid they carry:

- Toxic Cyan Continent

- Salty Cyan Continent

- Salty Red Continent

- Sugary Lime Continent

- Spicy Blue Continent

- Fresh Blue Continent

### **Time**

A day on Clown Planet lasts roughly 31 earth hours. From this point forward, the word "day" will be referring to a day on Clown planet, or clown day for short.

Clown planet takes 280 clown days to complete its orbit around the two stars, which will be referred to as a clown year. Out of the 280 clown days that make up a clown year, the first 140 see the small yellow star in front, while the other 140 only see the big white star. When the big white star is in front, the sky has a more vibrant color. It is also considerably more bright. When the smaller star is in front, the sky is more the dim and temperature slightly drops.

When Clown planet is farthest away from the stars, it almost completely coincides with the big star being eclipsed by the small star, which means that on Clown Planet there are only two seasons: a cold season when the small star is in front, and an hot season when the bigger star is.

## Gaseous Planet

Gaseous Planet is, as the name suggests, a colorful gaseous planet. It was submitted by braininaplate. It is the closest to the stars and the second largest planet in the system. The reflective asteroid ring around the planet makes this planet visible from Clown Planet for a good part of the clown year. When Clown Planet is closest to the two stars, Gaseous planet can be seen extremely clearly from there. If the conditions are right, the reflective asteroids will create a stroboscopic spectacle that can last a few hours.

## Dual Planet

Dual Planet is large partially frozen terrestrial planet. It was submitted by guest user rjhjkm1. The Planet is made up almost entirely of water, although most of it is very shallow. A tall mountain range divides the planet in two halves. Dual Planet has two moons, one black and one white, which influence the planet's tides. The poles of this planet are battered by constant snowstorms. From Clown Planet It is visible for a good chunk of the clown year, although not very clearly.

## Laser Planet

Laser planet is a small and also partially frozen terrestrial planet. It was submitted by Brutuz. The planet is surrounded by an incredibly reflective asteroid rings that turns light into deadly UV lasers. It's not often visible from Clown Planet, as this small planet is often eclipsed by Dual Planet, but when it is visible its bright ring of asteroids is clearly distinguishable.

## Eater Planet

Eater planet is an enormous (mostly) gaseous planet with a mass so big it attracts large asteroids. It was submitted by thedudeguy. The debris that forms a ring around this planet is eventually pulled in, only to be jutted out later. This planet has some stable moons, although the majority of them have already been "eaten" by the planet and turned into pebbles. The planet is so large, despite its distance, it is visible from Clown Planet for about half of the clown year.

## Frozen Planet

Frozen planet is the planet farthest away from the stars. For this reason it's rarely visible from Clown Planet. Despite the distance, the planet's high volcanic activity and the intense luminosity of two stars makes this planet's temperature highly variable. It was submitted by Eversor. It is an almost completely frozen planet for most of the clown year, but when it is closest to the stars all of the ice melts and planet turns into a giant ocean. It has a single moon.
