doing math for a worldbuilding hobby i've started doing again and i really cannot get over how much better it feels to do math **handwritten** vs typed, even though typing it out is faster.

It really kinda feels magical to algebra by hand, like wow I worked it out and you can see how :)

not just that!! but like i miss out on so much intuition when i try and type it out. plus i'm actually realising i'm much faster handwritten cause i can group terms together on the fly and i can skip sooo many steps

i'm simply attempting to place a planet about 1.3 times the mass of earth orbiting an A class star, so i'm doing a ton of astronomic math and attempting to rearrange terms so i have a usable factory to spit out planets whenever i need to ^^

gotta involve stuff like - luminosity - stellar mass - bond albedo - semimajor axis - orbital period - rotational period - axial tilt etc. plus a few fun bits for atmospheric pressure and composition so i can control the greenhouse effect and ice-albedo runway
