The zone between the is called a "twilight zone" because they never get noon (from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM they get an eclipse), and they hardly get any night (since the "moonlight" reflected off their sister planet is quite bright). Even during the daily eclipse, they get some light conducted through their sister planet's atmosphere. In my model, the planets are about 12,500 km apart at their closest point, which is about 8,000 miles. Close enough to teleport, but not close enough to share an atmosphere.Of course, if you're applying magical heroic phlogiston, perhaps the lack of an atmosphere is no impediment to special magical plant life... or perhaps there was a great hero who threw a mighty harpoon from one world to the next, fixing them together in the heavens, and as proof we still have the harpoon & steel cable right here, and you can totally climb them if you have necklaces of adaptation or you are warforged or whatever. Trip takes about a month, air runs out around day two, once you get half way it's easier to just push yourself towards the sister planet and let go of the cable.- - -Er, I don't want to derail the Gliese 581g discussion.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
