Default Planetary climate descriptions

The issue of planetary climate comparisons is for people who can make sense of imaging demonstrating the need to explain the polar day/night cycle and sea ice evolution using a separate rotation to daily rotation and its characteristics as opposed to those who simply cannot.

Were the Earth to have the rotational inclination of Uranus, while retaining it's rotational speed and orbital characteristics, it would have a polar climate while if it had an inclination like Jupiter it would have an Equatorial climate.

Again the whole issue is open source but requires adults to handle the implications and interpretations.
