| Description |
English: I decided to not depict any particular terraforming method for this image. Only the ideal finished result.
I used a 50% water coverage, which results in many crater lakes and two seas one on each pole. However there are no oceans. Due to the slow rotation and proximity to the sun the planet would have a super rotating atmosphere like Venus and only two Hadley cells in each hemisphere. The polar regions would probably be colder due to the polar collar formed by the super rotation, but the area would be too small to create polar caps. Data collected by NASA and the USGS was used as a guide to create this image. |
