Hi people!
Strange request but not having much luck in anything specific to what I'm doing, either that or I'm not sure what i should be searching for...
I'm making a fantasy world for a book and wanting to create a single planet that is still distinguishable as having been 2 separate planets at a previous time. (similar to the bubbles above, but separated more). I've toyed with ideas on what may or may not work and realized its a bit over my knowledge level.
My reason I am seeking help is to find out several things:
- Could the 2 partially merged planets sustain this state? (maybe they could be still orbiting each other while physically attached)
- Could pre-existing life survive even a minor collision of the 2 planets?
- How would gravity work at different points on the planet?
- What would you expect the planets rotation to be like?
- What would happen along the "rub" points as the 2 planets synchronised their rotations? (would there be a large valley or a volcanic ridge)
Strange question I know, but I think its a cool concept for a world and want to get as much out of it as possible in regards to scenarios and further ideas.
Any help is appreciated, even if only to tell me where to look or what book i should be reading.
Cheers,
Lonewolf
