The Cognitive
The sky in the Cognitive Realm is pitch black{{book ref|sa2|7}} with no moon or stars.{{book ref|sa3|95}}{{book ref|sa4|22}} On the horizon sits a small, frail,{{book ref|sa4|22}} white sun,{{book ref|sa1|45}}{{book ref|sa2|1}} that provides enough light to illuminate the lands but not the sky, despite appearing almost too weak to achieve even this.{{book ref|sa4|22}} The sun does not move or change regardless of time of day or distance traveled - because of this, the Cognitive Realm does not have any natural day and night cycle.{{book ref|sa3|91}}{{book ref|sa3|95}}{{book ref|Sa4|24}} On some worlds, clouds create certain formations which they strictly hold to, however this is not the case for all worlds.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}{{msh ref|1|1}} It has a natural atmosphere with a breathable atmosphere due to air permeating into the Cognitive from the Physical Realm.{{wob ref|9512}}
The Cognitive Realm is an inverse reflection of the Physical Realm, with the Cognitive Realm's bodies of "water" mirroring land in the Physical Realm, and Cognitive Realm land being the reflection of oceans, rivers, and lakes. Each subastral will manifest these bodies of "water" differently, which may relate to the way of thinking on any given planet.{{wob ref|11708}}{{msh ref|3|2}} It is possible that this inversion does not extend to all subastrals in the cosmere.{{wob ref|7200}}
Shadows behave strangely in the Cognitive Realm, depending on the source of light that is creating them. Shadows cast by the sun will point towards it instead of away,{{book ref|sa2|7}}{{book ref|sa4|22}} while those cast by manifested fire will point away from the light source as would occur in the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Backward shadows occur on rare occasions in the Physical Realm, and are related in some way to the Cognitive Realm.{{wob ref|467}}{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}{{book ref|sa2|i|3}}
