Interesting Facts
Fact #1: The world of Ataraxia is about one-fourth the size of planet Earth. However, it has enough mass that gravity is only slightly reduced compared to Earth's.
Fact #2: Ataraxia also experiences four distinct seasons, but there are only six months in a year. Spring and autumn each last for one month, while summer and winter span two months each. The planet takes only 180 days to orbit its sun. As a result, the growth cycles and natural rhythms have adapted to these unique seasonal conditions.
Fact #3: Reflecting the six months, Ataraxia has six "zodiac signs," each tied to a piece of humanity's creation myth. To align them with Earth's calendar, here’s a comparative list:
