Olnoria

**Olnoria** is the 2nd planet from the Sun type star {star1name}, or the 1st for the Sun type star {star2name}, in the Bi-solar system; and functions as both the Headquarters of the Bi-Solar Federation, as well as a habitable planet.

About 66% of Olnoria's surface is made up of the ocean. The remaining 33% of Olnoria's surface is land, consisting of continents and islands. Olnoria's surface layer is formed of several slowly moving tectonic plates, interacting to produce mountain ranges, volcanoes and surfacequakes.

Olnoria's liquid outer core generates the magnetic field that shapes **Olnoria**'s magnetosphere, deflecting destructive solar winds, but also harbors the breeding and origin areas of the The silicai

Olnoria's atmosphere consists mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. More solar energy is received by tropical regions than polar regions and is redistributed by atmospheric and ocean circulation. Water vapor is widely present in the atmosphere and forms clouds that cover most of the planet. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere like carbon dioxide (CO2) trap a part of the energy from the Suns close to the surface. A region's climate is governed by latitude, but also by elevation, proximity to moderating oceans, and to proximity The silicai cities.

Olnoria is an ellipsoid with a circumference of about 42,000 km. Olnoria is about 3 light minutes away from the {sun1name} and 4 light minutes from {star2name} and orbits it, taking a year (about 333.33 days) to complete one revolution. Olnoria rotates around its own axis in a day. Olnoria's axis of rotation is tilted with respect to its orbital plane with the Sun, producing four seasons. Olnoria is orbited by one permanent natural satellite, the Moon, which orbits Olnoria at 410,000 km (1.5 light seconds) and is roughly a quarter as wide as Olnoria. The Moon also tuns on its axis, showing a different side on every phase.

Olnoria formed over 4.1 billion years ago. During the first billion years of Olnoria's history, the ocean formed and then Carbon based Life developed within it. Life spread globally and began to affect Olnoria's atmosphere and surface, leading to Olnoria's Great Oxidation Event two billion years ago.It is believed that after this extinction, the first Silicon based life came into being. The Carbons emerged 700,000 years ago, and have reached a population of almost 20 billion today, with carbon-based list approximately doubling that, and artificial lives quadrupling it.

## Etymology

The name comes from old silicat, 'Ol' - meaning flesh or, human. 'n' - in this context similar or "on top" or "on the surface of" , "oria" - the planet we know as Olnoria, as it was known to them, which actually means "ocean".

The common belief amongst The Carbons is that these were the first communications from The silicai in the First encounter (Carbon v Silicon) which the team had interpreted as a symbolic for the planet.

For past names refer to Olnoria (names)

## Life on Olnoria

Olnoria has 3 main types of life, carbon-based, silicon-based, and artificial lives (in order of appearance on the planetary stage, as no specific dating can be achieved)

All of them have their own family trees of evolution, and naming conventions.

The shape of Olnoria is nearly spherical. There is a small flattening at the poles and bulging around the equator due to Olnoria's rotation. Therefore, a better approximation of Olnoria's shape is an oblate spheroid, whose equatorial diameter is a bit larger than the pole-to-pole diameter.

Olnoria's mass is approximately 5.97×1024 kg. It is composed mostly of iron (32.1%), oxygen (30.1%), silicon (19.1%), magnesium (9.9%), sulfur (2.9%), nickel (1.8%), calcium (1.5%), and aluminum (1.4%), with the remaining 1.2% consisting of trace amounts of other elements.
