* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': The unnamed[[note:Commonly called Equus by the fanfic community]] planet Equestria is on has a day/night cycle that is artifically controlled by [[WingedUnicorn Celestia and Luna]] and doesn't change on its own. It's later revealed that this isn't an ability of them specifically but something regular unicorns can learn, although little is actually known.

It means the "invisible" side which doesn't move, not the ''unlit'' side which shifts to create the Moon's phases.

** Abyormen in Cycle of Fire is more complicated: The planet is tidally locked to the red dwarf star it orbits, but the orbit is eccentric and the planet's spin axis is inclined. This produces parts of the planet where the red dwarf does not set, parts where it rises and sets, and parts where it never rises. The red dwarf is in turn in an eccentric orbit around a blue giant star, further complicating Abyormen's climate.
