Dear everyone**, dude we got a ton of mathematics to get through this post.**
We got to get through angular sizes, surface temperatures, Stefan-Boltzmann constant, solar constant, solar luminosity, albedo and lots of physics, but we always take too much time doing these introductions and today, it's time to rock [no pun intended]! Hi, it is me. And we are here for one thing Roblox Corporation. We have come for Roblox's best. We have come to prove conclusively once and for all that Roblox the planet makes no freaking sense and the Robloxians who live here should be dead! Well maybe, or maybe not. Maybe Roblox is fine. But in order to find out, we are going to have to get this post started with the question. We asked ourself- the thing that set us down this wily, twisting rabbit hole of chaos and SCIENCE. Is ROBLOX habitable?
Now, you may find yourself in deja vu. Yes, I agree. But this time, we are going to make a different set of assumptions:
- We will assume distances from Sun-Roblox = Sun-Earth and Roblox-Moon = Earth-Moon.
(and I will show you why, even we use the new set, why ROBLOX IS STILL DOOMED)
Open up ROBLOX Studio. Choose the Baseplate template. Expand on Lighting. Now click on Sky. There will be two values: The MoonAngularSize and The SunAngularSize. Both of those angular sizes default to 11. According to the Roblox Sky API Reference, those are the perceived angular sizes of the two celestial objects while using this skybox, in degrees. This implies that the moon and the sun are roughly the same size in ROBLOX.
We will be referring to this angular size formula a lot in this heading, so take note: Angular size is 2 tan^(-1)((L)/(2×D)), where L is the diameter of our object and D is the distance to that object.
However, this is not true in Earth. The Earth's Moon Angular Size is: 2 tan^(-1)((2159.1 miles)/(2×3.85×108 meters)) = 0.5171 degrees and the sun's: 2 tan^(-1)([432300 miles]/(2 [1 astronomical unit])) = 0.5329 degrees. So one can say that Roblox's Moon looks 21.27 times bigger than Earth's moon and Roblox's Sun looks 20.64 times bigger than Earth's sun.
Why do we need angular sizes of the two celestial bodies? Enter Part 2, where we talk about the length of the objects.
Solving for L in A=2 tan^(-1)((L)/(2×D)) gives us . Plugging in the distance from Roblox Sun to Roblox and using the angular size of 11 degrees gives us the diameter of Roblox Sun to be 17.9 million miles. Using a similar method for the Roblox Moon gives us 46,070 miles.
(The consequences of this have been left as an exercise to the blog reader)
TL:DR: Roblox is uninhabitable as is, no matter what perspective we take.
