(urth) Green is Urth Redux

But it can't be.  Lune is orbiting Urth in Severian's time, and is green in 
colour.  The Whorl was launched long before that time, when Scylla was 
alive - and the Whorl has no surface vegetation.  (Also, of course, the 
Whorl appears to be a lot smaller, at least in diameter; the distance from 
the interior surface to the Long Sun does not seem to be very great, and it 
takes only three days to walk through tunnels from the interior surface to 
the outside.)
