How to create temperature gradient E-W rather than N-S?

[jbgibson]

Do you care if the world as mapped is all there is? You could get the straight lat/Lon on the inside of a ring world, only a reasonable e-w would be manymany times the n-s dimension. If e doesnt have to wrap back around to w then most of your ring could be off-map with any number of reasons for warmer/cooler zones.Unless it was a habitat rather than a 50-80 million mile ribbon... A cylinder with the star outside can be a more reasonable 2:1-ish proportion. Say the habitat was different reflectivities on one side than the other for more or less heat coming up from beneath.

A world with a 90 degree inclination would have some interesting day/night/season patterns.
