Most such have pretty long daylight/night cycles, and one side is very well illuminated for much of the night. The larger the primary the more heat the moon will receive from it.

The further away from a planet a moon is the less likely that moon is to remain in its orbit about that planet. The closer a planet is to a star the closer a moon has to be to that planet in order to stay in its orbit.

There are quite a few worlds with somewhat 'un-earthlike' orbits/insolation patterns, etc. in this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-teddy-invasion-and-what-happened-next.462195/ Click on Index and scroll down - most of them have one, sometimes two, word names.

Continents heat up and cool down differently from oceans, they block/redirect the flow of ocean current that redistribute heat, and mountains modify air flows. An axial tilt like you describe would count as 'significant', and the variance would lead to significant climatic changes over that...

With two G0 stars I expect that the habitable zone would be a bit larger than you mentioned. However. A wide habitable zone in which a planet goes from near the inner edge to near the outer edge is going to have considerable seasonal differences due to the differences in illumination over...

If the stars in the nebula that are lighting it up enough and the star system is close enough - sure! I'm inclined to assume that much more than 'a full moon' verges on the extremely unlikely or potentially dangerous because stars so bright tend to go boom, and close enough for 'lots of light'...

To do something like that you need magical technology like 'gravity folds', 'stasis fields', and so on. But, if we ever do get technology that enables us to build something like that someone will make Pellucidar. In my 'TRNTverse future history' there are an increasing number of cities built...

You have such a fun and supportive attitude. It is fine to say what you prefer, and why, but don't harsh someone else's efforts.

If there is a whole lot of ice at the South Pole (much of that mountainous interior) it is a map with a number of interesting possibilities. There would be some massive rivers coming off of that ice, but the interior of the icecap would be like Antarctica - very dry, with old ancient ice.

But the amount of sunlight stays the same, regardless of how fast or slow the planet rotates. This is very well-established physics.

Any planet that is the same distance from the sun as Earth is will have the same solar insolation, no matter how fast or slow it rotates. https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Insolation https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insolation

???? If you have a 48 hour rotation you have a 48 hour rotation - the Coriolis force will be weaker, and the temperature will vary more between day and night. (If you were to give the Moon an atmosphere and water, but make no other changes, there would nearly always be storms at sunrise and...

Be at the same distance from the sun.

I would assume 85.2%.
