This is a puzzle i came up with earlier, with a few amendments. Work out what the three clues are, and then use the final clue to decide which one is the correct one.
I am three things, but which one am I?
1: The internal temperature North, maybe a half more, and eleven elevens towards apollo's destination. I am almost modest, but not quite there.
2: I am the first of many, the largest and the brightest, but still small in the scale of things; I fit inside a belt.
3: I am plentiful harvest, but the sides of skulls no longer echo my name. Some even use an alternate name.
Of these three, I am one, the one whose period is 1680
I will only accept an answer that fits all of the clues and explains them. Good luck ;)
Answer
Are you:
(Credit goes to @Ivanhoe for the clarification of clue 2)
Ceres, asteroid
The internal temperature North, maybe a half more, and eleven elevens towards apollo's destination. I am almost modest, but not quite there.
Looks like coordinates: 37.5 (or 36.5) north. 121 towards apollo, god of the sun. The sun heads west, so 121 W. At this coordinates there is a city Modesto and there is (not quite there) a nearby city Ceres.
I am the first of many, the largest and the brightest, but still small in the scale of things: I fit inside a belt.
Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt that lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter
I am plentiful harvest, but the sides of skulls no longer echo my name. Some even use an alternate name.
Demeter or Ceres is the Goddess of the Harvest. Sides of skulls, i.e. temples - Ceres is a Roman goddess and is not worshiped any longer
Of these three, I am one, the one whose period is 1680
It's orbital period is 1680 days
