For instance, frogs that essentially freeze and stay frozen until Spring, where they thaw out and go about their lives until the next freeze. There are plants that stay dormant for years. And Martin's earlier post is something to think about - maybe evolution would be faster on such a planet.David M.

A planet with an Earth year long orbit which drops in at about were Venus's orbit is and swings out past Mars's orbit, could have an average temperature the same as Earth's. <br /><br />The seasons would be global. An extremely hot dry and very short summer, when the planet is closest to it's sun, followed by hot wet rainy season, as the planet moves away, that gradually cools off to a cold dry winter, which actually occurs right before it's "Summer" starts. Oceans would adsorb and carrying the "heat" of summer for most of the planet's year. So when the planet was farthest from it's sun the outdoor temperatures would be cool and springlike. <br /><br />As long as the cyclical climate remains consistent over billions of years there should be no problems with complex life forms evolving. Plants and Animals would "hibernate" or become dormant during the "Winter" then wake up when the rains fall after the "Summer." In fact intelligent life on such a system might conclude circular orbits lack the variation necessary to evolve complex life.

I actually think it could speed it up. I recommend Pure science Wiki, especially the page "Self-organization", there is research showing that evolution is driven by self-organizing forces but SLOWED DOWN by competition, and that the origin of multicellularity were caused by environmental stress tiring cells out to the point of making them incapable of hostility and territoriality, allowing them to self-organize into multicellularity. I have repeated that on yeast in my own kitchen, confirmed by microscope studies.<br /><br />Martin J Sallberg<br /><br />Pure science WikiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
