you were wrong it was A

doc.brown · Answer

Around what?
It's axis, or a star?

anonymous · Answer

I don't know it said the answer is a and heres why because The speed of a planet[?]s rotation is one cause of the daily variations in temperature on the surface.

i tried, i just thought of earth..(:

Does Earth have 12 hours days? Cmon man.

ipwnbunnies · Answer

12-hour days*

doc.brown · Answer

I would think that over the period of one rotation the surface of the planet would be exposed to a even distribution of sunlight, and the temperature "on the planet" would be constant.  If the answer had said "on a point on the planet" I would agree with a.

I think this is a bad question.

doc.brown · Answer

We have 24 hours in a day and have 12 hours on our clocks.

Also, it doesn't say whether this planet has an axis perpendicular to a star.  If it is perpendicular to a star, it wouldn't have seasons at all, or they could be said to vary every day since seasons are arbitrary anyway.
