How Can Planetary Movements Affect Time and Illumination on an Inhabited Planet?

[QUOTE="snorkack, post: 6823376, member: 436348"] Two possibilities for that, one likely, the other can be ruled out with simple reasoning. The likely reason for "day all time" is tidal locking to star. In which case the near side has day all time. Now, the ruled out case would be two stars opposite in the sky. It can be ruled out because there is no arrangement for three bodies in a line to be in a stable equilibrium. L1, L2 and L3 are all unstable. A planet can travel through opposition, but that will not be all time. And then you have the question of defining "day". How many lx do you call "day"? [/QUOTE]
