Subject: Some simple questions about Sanghelios.

To make the explannation short: Sanghelios has 3 suns, 1 goes solo, 2 rotates around eachother. Would it be hotter with the 2 suns being "up", or the single one? (Remember that Sanghelios probably rotates around the single one.)

Also, if a moon does not have a locked orbit, like ours, would it be visible on the day?

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

To your first question, it depends largely on the temperature of the suns and the distance the planet is from them. I cannot give you an accurate answer, but my guess is that it couldn't be too much hotter if Phillips is able to survive on the surface.

Secondly, our moon is "tidal locked," meaning that the moon virtually does not rotate about its own axis, and only one side faces us. If a/the moon did rotate, we could see different sides of it. A moon's rotation has no affect on phases nor it's visibility.

For the record, our moon is frequently visible during the day, as long is it is not too bright out.
