Can we instead arrange sunlight for 12 hours a day, all year long? That would suit me well.

- zeveb 10y agoYou can live on the equator, where that's true. It's hellishly hot and miserable, but if that's what you'd like it's achievable.

- mixmastamyk 10y agoMany equatorial cities are at a high elevation for this reason. Also, non-intuitively the equator is not the hottest area of the planet, but rather the tropics (+/- 23 degrees), so you can expect it to be merely hot.
- powvans 10y agoSeems like it would be simple enough to achieve this by altering the number of minutes in an hour depending on the time of year. I'm for it.
- zeveb 10y ago> Seems like it would be simple enough to achieve this by altering the number of minutes in an hour depending on the time of year. Or just altering the length of the civil second over the course of the year. So a minute would be 60 seconds and an hour would be 60 minutes year-round, but the daytime civil second would be short in the summer night and long in summer days, and vice-versa in the winter.
