One hot enough to melt lead, one cold enough to freeze C02.&lt;p&gt;Well, in a certain sense the West Pole and East Pole would exist in the manner you describe, but the behavior is not similar to that of the north and south poles. The stars will still rotate around the north-south axis, and east-west still won&amp;#x27;t affect that. It&amp;#x27;s not obvious that both phenomena should be called &amp;quot;poles&amp;quot;.</text><parent_chain><item><author>valarauca1</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m imaging an age of discovery-esque expeditions to the center of the &lt;i&gt;Solar Plane&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;p&gt;They&amp;#x27;d likely have radically different definitions of poles.
