Hi. If the two suns were in close orbit and the planet orbited the center of mass of them both at a large enough distance, then not much would be different. The problem is that orbits tend to be chaotic in three-body systems. A planet would tend to be ejected. Oh, and it would be hot.

Just the fact that there are 2 suns doesn't enable you to predict anything about the climate on a planet. The determining factors are the size of the suns, the distance of the planet from the suns, the size of the planet, etc., etc. For example, think about the differences in the climate of Mercury as compared to that of Pluto. I am surprised that so many people who answered this question assumed that it would be hot! On Pluto, it would be still extremely cold even with several more suns similar to the existing one because of its great distance away.

2 suns in the same solar systems are called binary systems. 2 suns of the same mass would revolve around each other, taking Pluto and its moon Charion. They both move in cirlced to each other because Pluto is a lil bit bigger than Charion.
In this case, a planet revolving around one of the sun would not be a planet because of this reason.
The 2 suns revolving around another revolve around a common center point by which no sun can enter this point.
This orbital of the suns are like the infinite symbol. But the center is where the suns dont meet at. Take 2 cars travling at same speed, same time, same setup, same race track race in circle, They would instantly finish at the same time where they started. Because of this, the center point is soo narrow, and small that a planet would hit the other sun, the further away a planet is, the better the chance of surrvival.

This is a complex question, are the suns close together with the planet orbiting both? It may not be all that hot, the suns may be small or far from the planet.

I would say... rare. The chances of two stars being that close together and in some weird tandem orbit would be very rare. A situation where a planet could be held in place within the interaction of the two stars' gravity would be "astronomically" rare. Other than that.... it would be hot.... and bright.

dang, you took my answer. I was going to say really hot. LOL. well, I think we would have more daylight hours, unless the suns both rose and set at the same time. I think there would be four times of day, morning, afternoon, pre-night and night. Pre-night would be after one sun set but the other one was still up. It would be really weird. And hot.

It would be much hotter and there would be 2 nights and 2 days in 24 hours.It would probley never snow or rain.And it would be brighter in the day and the night.

I think it would be neat. But the weather would probably be unfit to live in, we would have to go underground to survive.
