	The best thing to do is get a copy of
	World Building: A writer's guide to constructing star systems
and 
	life-supporting planets by Stephen L. Gillett, Writer's Digest 
	Books, ISBN # 0-89879-707-1
	Available from http://www.amazon.com/
	Do a search for "Gillett Worldbuilding"

	The following are some help, but not quite
	what you wanted.
