    Well, at least it doesn't give a negative value. What the model doesn't account for is all cooling time, so it is likely to never get...

    That axial tilt on the moon, may be exposing the problem, but I don't think it's you math, but another limitation of the system. If we...

    Yes, I had also thought of a minimum value of around 10K. However, such values should actually only be achieved with moons that are...

    @Geir I've encountered a problem. When calculating the high and low temperatures of different moons, I get a low temperature of 0 K...

    A very small rabbit hole peek...

    All right, thank you very much. I think I'll just calculate the tidal forces for worlds starting at Hydro Code 1, which should be quick...

    Depends. From my brief look at it, the basin size of the body of water and any resonance relationship with tidal force periodicity would...

    Okay, but how do I determine whether a planet has enough liquid to be considered for these calculations? Should I use the percentage of...

    Ah. The magnitude in meters of flux is for water, since that's what you would notice on shorelines. The ground flexes too, but it...

    There are tidal effects on the moons of Jupiter, even without surface liquid (or ice covered oceans). It causes lot of flexing and heating.

    What Terry said... Yes, it's the energy that causes heating, so the hydrosphere is irrelevant as a cause, though the resultant liquid...

    Thanks. It was clear to me that the tidal heating process on page 126 applies to all terrestrial worlds. My question was more about the...

    Dodo98 replied to the thread WBH Tidal Lock DMs.
    @Geir Do I determine tidal effects only for planets and moons that have some form of surface liquid, or generally for every world...

    Dodo98 replied to the thread WBH Tidal Lock DMs.
    Okay that makes sense. But if you go strictly by the rules, I couldn't find any indication that you don't have to check for gas giants...
