Hello fellow Sharders!
In my quest to
conquerbe more active on the Shard, I decided to post here!I'm just gonna put this here, if anyone remembers information about Roshar's size (mass and diameter) or information about humidity and temperature, I'd love to know. I learned how to use Google Sheets recently, and thought it might be fun to figure out what forces a Wind runner experience during flight.

Rosharan gravity is .7 earth's gravity. High oxygen content leads to even lower atmospheric pressure than earth for comparable gravity. The highstrom travels at an average speed of 370 mph. Roshar has a circumference of about 22,110 miles
SpoilerKaren Ahlstrom (paraphrased)
1. Just as highstorms come less frequently around the Weeping, they are more frequent around Midpeace.
2. Following the advent of the Everstorm, the normal highstorm calculations/schedule was found to be thrown off by about four (Rosharan) months.
3. Highstorms move at about 370 miles per hour. The Everstorm moves at about 120 miles per hour. Those are variable of course, and shouldn't be taken as official, definitive numbers.
4. For approximate Everstorm timing calculations we used a cycle of 9.1 (Rosharan) days.
5. Roshar's circumference is about 22110 miles. Again, this shouldn't be taken as an official, definitive number.
This section from the coppermind should be rather helpful
QuoteGravitational acceleration on Roshar is notably lower than usual, at 6.86 m/s2 (70% of the cosmere standard),[4] though it is still within common ranges.[16] This is due, in part, to the planet's small size; Roshar has a circumference of approximately 22110 miles (35580 km), giving a radius of 3519 miles (5663 km), and comes in just under 90% of the cosmere standard size.[4][17] These yield a planetary mass of 3.296×1024 kilograms, and an average density of 4.33 g/cm3.
Roshar has 0° of axial tilt.[18] As a result, the planet does not have a seasonal cycle.[19][20] This also allows Rosharans to easily tell their location and time by the path and location of the sun.[21][22]
The orbital period of Roshar is 1.1 standard years.[23][24][25]
A day on Roshar is 20 Rosharan hours and there are 500 days in a year.[26] The end of a Rosharan year is marked by the first two weeks of the Weeping.[27]
Roshar does not have plate tectonics,[1] though it does have earthquakes[28][29][30] and a magnetic field.[31]
