I will treat the sub-solar and anti-solar points as poles, called solar-pole and night-pole. Thus, I'll use latitude to describe the zones I'm trying to get my head around. I'm sure this measurement will account for the vast majority of climate bands, though the planet's rotations might affect wind around the actual rotational poles (Venus has cyclones around its poles, for instance). So, there is low pressure right at the solar-pole, which lifts warm moist air and drives it out from the pole. You're saying it would fall as dry warm air to create a sub-tropical high/desert. I can see this, and it is similar to Earth's zones. What would the latitudinal degrees be for these zones? You're going to have a tropical zone around the solar-pole, a desert circling it, and a temperate zone around the equator. Would you center these around 30 and 60 degrees, like on Earth? And how do you think the coriolis effect will effect this? Will it just curl the winds slightly, or will it cause the winds to rotate the rotational-poles as well?</blockquote>
