YAY! another evolution game! i'm totally gonna play this!
(<-- biologist student)
choice, mmm... E
I suggest a gas giant's moon, around a red dwarf. The planet is kinda near its star, and the moon is near its planet.
-Temperature: medium, quite hot (mean: 28°C.)
-Atmosphere: mainly oxygen, carbon dioxyde, nitrogen, and lot of hydrogen and helium (the nearby gas giant...). let's say 30% dihydrogen, 20% helium, 20% nitrogen, 15% carbon dioxide, 10% oxygen and 5% water.
-Oceans/rain: water.
-Gravity: HERE come the fun stuff. the moon is small (about 1.5 times our moon. around 2600km), so the gravity is low (a mean 1/5 to 1/4 earth's). Plus, the gas giant's gravity is able to change gravity... the gravity is smaller on the planet-side, and stronger on the opposite side. The moon may end tide-locked though.
-Day/year lengh and season: Oh my, it's complicated. The moon rotate around the giant that rotate around the star. If the moon is tide-locked, the side facing the star is HOT, and the other cold. It also mean 1 day=1 year. with a dark season in wich the moon is in the planet's shadow.
