<hr />
<div>In Kerbal Space Program a '''biome''' is a geographic area on the surface of a [[celestial body]] typically corresponding with types of geology like mountains or craters. This is in contrast to the real meaning of the term in which [[w:Biome|biomes]] are biotic communities in contiguous areas with similar climatic conditions and organism populations.<br />
<br />
The results of [[Science#Science activities|science activities]] often differ when performed in different biomes, and thus provide more opportunities to earn Science Points in [[Career|Career Mode]] to research further along the [[technology tree]]. In [[Sandbox]], even the text descriptions from experiments are unavailable, rendering biomes unimportant.<br />
<br />
Areas belonging to a biome may be geographically ''separate'', but they're not considered ''different'' areas. For example, after performing an EVA Report at Kerbin's north polar IceCap biome, performing one from the southern IceCap gives the same results (and Science Points) as if it had been performed a second time in the northern IceCap.<br />
<br />
With version [[0.90]] biomes were added to all celestial bodies which have a solid surface, which excepts Jool and the Sun. Before that only the [[Kerbin]] system - Kerbin, [[Mun]] and [[Minmus]] - had biomes. [[Jool]]'s moon [[Laythe]] and the planet [[Eve]] have bodies of water and science activities performed in them stated as being from "Laythe's oceans" and "Eve's oceans". However, this was just the effect of the [[Science#Situations|situation]] "SrfSplashed" for a splashdown versus the usual "SrfLanded" surface landing.<br />
<br />
== Kerbol ==<br />
The star [[Kerbol]] (officially called “The Sun”) has no biomes. Any attempt to land on its surface will result in the [[craft]] overheating, and ultimately exploding.<br />

The planet [[Moho]] has 12 biomes. It is one of two bodies (the other being Ike) that have their own North and South Pole biome. On the North Pole there is a big sinkhole called the Northern Sinkhole.<br />

The planet [[Kerbin]] has 9 biomes, plus a large number of surface-only “location biomes” comprising [[Kerbal Space Center]]. Roughly 60% Kerbin's surface is Water biome. Grasslands and Highlands biomes cover most of the land area.<br />
<br />
Kerbin is the only celestial body with location biomes: the grounds of [[KSC]] and the many structures it is composed of. Each count as a biome only with experiments performed on the surface. KSC is within a Shores biome, so experiments while flying at any altitude over the KSC count as Shores. However, it is possible to get an "EVA Report while flying over" the area, either while jumping or grabbing a ladder on a craft.<br />

The moon of Kerbin, called [[Minmus]], has a total of 9 biomes. The most distinctive quality of Minmus's biomes is the variety of Flats, which in-game text describe as “lake beds”. They are almost perfectly flat and may represent [[w:Salt_pan_(geology)|salt flats]]. Roughly two-thirds of the surface area is irregular terrain transitioning between Highlands, Midlands, and Lowlands with Slopes in-between.<br />

==== Minmus ====<br />
The moon of Kerbin, called [[Minmus]], has a total of 9 biomes. The most distinctive quality of Minmus's biomes is the variety of Flats, which in-game text describe as “lake beds”. They are almost perfectly flat and may represent [[w:Salt_pan_(geology)|salt flats]]. Roughly two-thirds of the surface area is irregular terrain transitioning between Highlands, Midlands, and Lowlands with Slopes in-between.<br />
