[Question] [ Approximately how likely is it that a tidally locked planet would have a long term natural satellite, and where would that satellite most likely be located?

[Question] [ So, a neat thing, depending on how you look at it, about greenhouse gases is that while it's causing a raise in temperature near the surface it actually makes the upper parts of the atmosphere decrease in temperature.
