== Astronomy == {{image\|Taldain_Astronomy_inset.jpg\|side=right\|width=150px\|Top-down view of Taldain's Orbit.}} Taldain is tidally locked around two suns, this makes it unique among other planets in the Cosmere.{{au ref\|Taldain}} It is located between the two suns in the system which orbit one another, because of a layer of ~~dust~~particulates around one of these suns one half of the world is trapped in endless sunlight and the other half in night.{{au ref\|Taldain}} This placement was done purposefully by its creator.{{book ref\|ws\|part=ars}}{{wob ref\|3343}} It is the only planet within the system and a single moon, '''Nizh Da''', has a polar orbit around the world.{{au ref\|Taldain}} The orbit of Nizh Da is what defines the length of a day on Taldain.{{book ref\|ws\|part=ars}} An hour on Dayside is ninety minutes long and each day is separated into fifteen hours. On Darkside, an hour is sixty minutes long, and a day is separated into twenty-four hours.{{book ref\|ws\|prologue}}{{book ref\|ws\|part=ars}} Due to this, ninety Dayside minutes are equal to ninety-six Darkside minutes, with one dayside minute being equal to approximately 1.066 Darkside minutes.{{book ref\|ws\|part=ars}} It is kept in an unstable orbit around AisDa by the gravitational pull of Ridos, and by some other, unknown force, presumably Autonomy. This astronomically unstable orbit is known as "Wombear's Saddle".{{book ref\|ws\|part=ars}} Both of Taldain's suns are Invested, with AisDa constantly bombarding Dayside with Invested light, and the Eye of Ridos releasing a pulse of Investiture every seven orbits of Nizh Da.{{book ref\|ws\|part=ars}} == Magic System ==
