Insults indeed !, I never needed to insult people who insult themselves
by being unable to match one weekday with one rotation of the planet and
specifically by imagining there is one more rotation than 24 hour days in a year.

Even the other dummy in this thread recognizes the single rotation as a
function of the orbital motion of the Earth however this rotation is
responsible for the polar day/night cycle, something you dare not mention
even though it is impossible to discuss the seasons and climate without it.

For some reason you took the reference to academic slums personally but I
have no interest in dealing with academic drones with their convictions
stuck in the late 17th century, this material is for the 21st century
observer who can actually see the dual surface rotations and their
distinct characteristics -

If you are so silly to ignore that distance from the Sun or planetary
composition play no role in defining climate then don't bother me with
pathetic pleas. The only way a planet's climate can change is a change in
the degree of inclination within a spectrum. That is astronomy and that
is climate research.


If the atmosphere of Venus were to disappear the planet would cool and
temperature differences between day and night, poles and equator would be
quickly established. The night side would be very cool due to the long day
length. Science is not Tinkerbell. Ignoring facts won't make them go away.
