== Astronomy == 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 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}} ~~An hour on Taldain is 90 minutes long.{{book ref\|ws\|prologue}}~~ 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.{{book ref\|ws\|part=ars}} It is kept in an unstable orbit around [[AisDa]] by the gravitational pull of [[The Eye of Ridos\|Ridos]], and by some other, unknown force, presumably Autonomy. This astronomically unstable orbit is known as "Wombear's Saddle".{{book ref\|ws\|part=ars}}
