Valguseperioodid
Valguseperioodid, which translates to "periods of night" in English, are recurring intervals of night-like conditions on other planets and moons in our solar system. These periods occur due to variations in the rotation rate of the celestial body, causing some regions to experience prolonged darkness or extreme seasonal contrasts. The phenomenon is more commonly observed on moons orbiting gas giants, where tidal interactions often lead to chaotic and unpredictable changes in their rotation.
Enceledus, a moon of Saturn, is a prime example of this phenomenon. It is tidally locked to
The tidal locking of some celestial bodies, such as Enceladus's three daylight months followed by three months
Research into the phenomenon has led to discoveries of environments providing potential habitats for life on
