* This is a plot point in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse Expanded Universe novel]] ''[[Literature/XWingSeries The Krytos Trap]]'' where Corran Horn notes that he's either on a planet so backwater that all local clocks are set to GST, regardless of local time, or... [[spoiler:he's actually been on Coruscant the whole duration of his imprisonment]].

* In ''Manga/{{ARIA}}'', Aqua (Mars) has its own calendar to represent that it has a different amount of days per year than Earth, but the series does use both that calendar and the standard Gregorian calendar.

* ''Literature/VoidDogs'' is set in deep space, so the issue of different planets having different day lengths hasn't been addressed. It's been hinted that the standard is actually a ''28'' hour day.

* ''WebOriginal/OrionsArm'' uses fairly hard science and thus has to accept the problem posed by relativity. As a result no one has any idea what year it is by our calendar (except GAIA) and every planet has not just different length days and years but experiences time at a different rate.

* In Creator/IsaacAsimov's later ''[[{{Literature/Foundation}} Foundation]]'' novels, this is used as a plot point to deduce the identity of Earth, the forgotten homeworld. The standard year and day correspond to no day or year cycle on any known world, but just might correspond to the original.

* Although Asimov's ''Literature/TheStarsLikeDust'' is a distant prequel to the ''Foundation'' novels, at one point a character realizes he forgot to reset his watch to local planetary time from "Standard Interstellar Time", in which system "one hundred minutes made an hour and a thousand made a day".
