Also, I guess you could have a double star system with 2 suns on opposite sides of the planet, which could effectively be describing your scenario. | ||

I mean stuff like Earth being divided in two parts by a ring of ice and having alligators in Antarctica. How are you going to expose both halves of the planet to warmth without also exposing most of the ring of ice? | ||

So a hot pole would be possible, its the ring of ice that is the problem. | ||

No, the equator is the part of the planet furthest away from it's axis of rotation. Two hot poles would be hard, but you could have a planet where one pole is aimed at the star, and the axis of rotation also rotates around the star, so that one pole always points towards the star (I actually don't know if this is possible, but i don't really see why it shouldn't be). This would mean that this one pole is hottest, the other pole is coldest, and the equator is in the middle. 2 suns on opposite sides of the planet might happen in a static system or for a short period of time in a moving system, but i cannot see how that would be the state in which things are most of the time in a system where stuff tends to move on ellipses around other stuff. I guess we could have some cheating version where a large part of the surface heat doesn't come from the star, but maybe from geological activity fueled by nuclear decay at the center of the planet. So, hot molten core, and for some reason the heat erupts mostly at the poles. Maybe you have a crust which moves from poles to the equator, and submerges there. So you have lots of hot volcanoes at the poles, and thus the poles are the hottest part of the planet? | ||
