History Main / EndlessDaytime

* ''ComicBook/TheWarlordDC'': Skartaris is a HollowWorld lit by a central sun and as such has no equivalent of night or twilight, save at the poles at the very edge of the world.
* ''[[ComicBook/AngelIDW Angel: After the Fall]]'' has LA in hell, with both sun and full moon up at the same time, which makes things interesting for werewolves. And vampires. And, well, it's hell.
* ''ComicBook/DungeonTwilight:'' The Great Khan stopped the planet from spinning, making half of the world this and the other an AlwaysNight with the Twillight being the Great Khan's kingdom. The always day region is a gigantic desert where people are sent to die.

* ''Literature/VillainsByNecessity'': As the forces of Light proceed to spread unchecked throughout the world, night is getting shorter and shorter, moving closer to becoming Always Day.

Really long daytime hours are a staple of ScienceFiction. The causes of the everlasting daylight could be anything from having multiple suns to having a HollowWorld with a sun in the center. [[TruthInTelevision On Earth]] there is a phenomenon that causes up to several months of nonstop sunshine in certain parts of the world, but this is rarely used as a setting in SciFi. A common explanation is a TidallyLockedPlanet, where one side of the planet will be in perpetual daytime while the [[TheNightThatNeverEnds opposite will be true]] of the other side.

* ''Series/TheOrville''. In "If the Stars Should Appear", the crew encounter a GenerationShip who's inhabitants have forgotten they're on a spacecraft. The ship has artificial lighting which runs constantly, so there's never any night. Once the crew reaches the bridge, they discover that the dome is designed to be retracted to reveal outer space in order to give the inhabitants a day-night cycle, and activate it so the people will see the reality of their existence.
* ''Series/StargateSG1''. In "The Broca Divide", the heroes visit a planet that is tidally locked. While the inhabitants of the "light side" have a Bronze Age culture bearing similarities to the Minoan civilization, the dark side is infected with a plague that turns people into savages.
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959''
** In the episode "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E75TheMidnightSun The Midnight Sun]]" the Earth is spiraling closer and closer to the sun, and it is perpetually day. [[spoiler: Except it turns out the main character is dreaming, and [[TheNightThatNeverEnds the Earth is actually spiraling AWAY from the sun and freezing.]]]] [[note]]For this to work, the Earth would have to become tidally-locked, meaning the other side would be constantly dark and probably somewhat less hot. [[spoiler:But then, since it's AllJustADream, it doesn't have to be actually physically possible -- and the inverse, what's revealed to be the actual situation, ''is'' possible, since at enough of a distance, the sun would no longer provide significant heat or light.]][[/note]]
** Another episode, "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS4E118OnThursdayWeLeaveForHome On Thursday we Leave for Home]]", is set on a planet with two suns that make for a barren, inhospitable world for a marooned colony.

* One of the FloatingContinent fragments Beorn visits in ''The Shattered World'' is a non-rotating one, so this trope applies. Thanks to the unfailing sunshine, it's covered with an impenetrable jungle of over-sized vegetation.

* Half of Earth is heading for this in ''The Age of Miracles''. The days get longer and longer and as the novel ends, people realize that before long, there won’t be any night at all.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon Ruby|and Sapphire}}'' and its remake ''Pokémon Omega Ruby'', this is a side effect of Groudon intensifying the sun's rays.

* In ''Literature/TheFarthestShore'', one of the backstory's greatest heroes, Erreth-Akbe, is said to have gained eternal fame by defeating a being (a mage or possibly a dragon) called the Firelord who sought to stop the sun at noon so that there would be light unending.

* In ''The Memory of Sky'' (a ''Literature/GreatShip'' novel), the HollowWorld is perpetually lit from below, though the light output varies as the hydrogen-breathing plants in the lower section of world (where the sun is) expand exponentially over the course of hours (darkening the world) before igniting into a blazing inferno, wiping everything clean at "noon". In the climax, when [[spoiler: the light is shut off, the human population goes into a wild panic]]

* In ''VideoGame/QuakeIV'', every level in the game (where the sky is visible) is at daytime, even in levels that you revisit (hours later, in-game), the sky looks the same. Apparently, Stroggos doesn't have a day-to-night cycle.

* ''Series/TheOrville''. In "If the Stars Should Appear", the crew encounter a GenerationShip who's inhabitants have forgotten they're on a spacecraft. The heart of the ship is an enormous open area made to look like a fertile valley. The sky has a series of lights that illuminate it constantly, though the dome is supposed to retract to simulate night for a proper cycle. When the away team makes it to the bridge, Isaac discovers this and Mercer orders him to trigger it, causing the first night in thousands of years and showing the inhabitants exactly where they are.

* In the ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode "The Broca Divide", the heroes visit a planet that is tidally locked. While the inhabitants of the "light side" have a Bronze Age culture bearing similarities to the Minoan civilization, the dark side is infected with a plague that turns people into savages.

* Skartaris, the setting for ''ComicBook/TheWarlord'', is based on Pellucidar and has a similar 'eternal noon', save at the poles at the very edge of the world.

* In ''ComicBook/WhiteSand'', the world of Taldain is a TidallyLockedPlanet, so the dayside, where most of the story takes place, never sees a sunset.

* In the ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' series, particularly the first two games, areas being stuck at a given time seems to just be how the game works: Firelink Shrine in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsI'' is in perpetual daylight, Majula in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'' has a SceneryPorn sunset and so on. Usually, these are chosen to create a sense of passing time: for example, in ''II'', you go from the sunset in Majula and Heide to night in places like the Lost Bastille and Huntsman's Copse. However, one place where the unchanging time seems to actually ''mean'' something is Archdragon Peak in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'', where the perpetually blue sky (until you summon the BonusBoss and start a rainstorm, anyway) would normally be fine...except that, by the time you can access Archdragon Peak, all the other daylight areas in the world are lit by a [[TotalEclipseOfThePlot Darksign eclipse]] that gives them a sky like dimming coals, making Archdragon Peak's endless daytime somewhat jarring.

* The ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' expansion ''Shadowbringers'' involves the [[PlayerCharacter Warrior of Light]] and their companions being transported to the First, an alternate version of Hydaelyn that is slowly being [[ApocalypseHow/Class6 consumed]] by the [[LightIsNotGood Flood of Light]]. Although the planet continues to turn, what little remains of it that hasn't been reduced to [[WorldOfSilence endless plains of nothingness]] has been completely veiled by a canopy of blinding, golden light for the last one-hundred years. As such, it is constantly a sickly, yellow-tinted "daytime" regardless of the in-game clock - even when the in-game time reaches 6, the time when every other map in the game switches between daytime and nighttime music tracks as the sun sets, all that happens in the First is that shadows are cast in a slightly different direction. The night and darkness have since become [[TheSacredDarkness objects of reverence and worship, bringing peace and comfort away from the ever-burning light]] where the [[EldritchAbomination Sin Eaters and Lightwardens]] reside. The plot involves the Warrior of Light finding a way to, ironically, vanquish the Light and thus gain the epithet of "Warrior of Darkness".

* ''Series/MidnightSun2016'': As the title suggests, the series takes place in Kiruna, Sweden during the midnight sun, which it won't ever become dark outside until autumn which is several months away. Kahina, a French police detective visiting, has a very hard time adapting.

** God causes the sun to stay stationary in the sky for an entire day until the battle between the Israelites and the Amorites is over.

** The plane of [[TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering Mirrodin]] has five suns. There ''is'' night time, but it's brief and exaggerated. Basically the only reason this is worth mentioning is the flavor text on [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=194105 Grasp of Darkness]].

* The sunward half of a planet tidally locked to its sun would have constant daylight on the side facing the sun (and EndlessNight on the side facing away). Astronomers used to believe that Mercury was like this, but [[ScienceMarchesOn later discoveries]] showed otherwise.

* Welcome to [[WebAnimation/RedVsBlue Blood Gulch.]] The sun never sets in this canyon.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'': The denizens of Blood Gulch (and later Valhalla) occasionally complain that the sun never sets in their canyon. This is mostly a bit of meta-humor pointing out that the maps in Franchise/{{Halo}} don't have a day/night cycle.
