    The Nerdy Starcat lives in the deepest part of the ocean which is the ocean floor. Its habitat has to be very dark, gloomy and cold. When the temperatures are cold, it has the ability to use its thick skin to keep itself warm. However, if the temperatures are hot, the Nerdy Starcat will overheat due to so much fur on its body. Because of this, the Nerdy Starcat swims around the ocean floor to create its homes. Being very picky and cautious about homes and environments, the Nerdy Starcat builds its

    another person might have to look close to the horizon. Because of this astronomers designated specific places on the celestial sphere to be the north and south poles and the celestial equator. The north and south poles are extensions of the Earth's poles, while the celestial equator is an extension of the Earth's equator. From these points the sky is measured with two different things, declination and right ascension. Declination is the simpler of the two. It is similar to latitude on the Earth.

    Zindau’s equator would lie similar to Earth’s, landing halfway between each pole and forming two hemispheres; the Arctic and Antarctic circles would reside at each of the poles on either side of the axis. Latitudinal tropics, in comparison to Earth, would lie where the northern and southernmost latitudes are able see the sun directly above at noon while in the summer solstice (June Solstice). When Zindau reaches its closest point to the sun (perihelion), or its farthest point (aphelion), temperature

    Due to its proximity to the equator, Vanuatu’s climate can be simplified into two distinct seasons, the cold dry season, and the hot wet season (Vanuatu Meteorological Services, 2017). Occurring between November and April, the wet season is characterised by the increased likelihood of cyclones, with floods, storms, and strong winds being commonplace. In addition to Vanuatu’s location, the warming El Niño phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) means Vanuatu experiences drier annual conditions
