Does the compass position of the rising (or setting) of their blue sun vary throughout the Pongian year?
Explain why or why not. The compass position of the rising/setting of the blue sun does NOT vary throughout the Pongian year. This is because Pong has no axial tilt, so the position of Pong’s sun doesn’t vary relative to Pong’s equator throughout the year. Pong’s sun always lies on the celestial equator (unlike our sun), and so it always rises exactly in the east, and sets exactly in the west. • Does the Pongian period of daylight change during the year? Why or why not? Because Pong has no axial tilt, the days are the same length at all times throughout the year – equal to half the time taken for one revolution (spin) of Pong relative to its Sun. The changing hours of daylight on earth are caused by the changing orientation of the tilted earth relative to the sun. • Is the Pongian climate the same at its poles as its equator? Why or why not? As we saw in part (b), because there is no axial tilt, the length of the Pongian day is the same in both winter and summer, and the same all over
