* In ''WesternAnimation/OnyxEquinox'' there are the twins K'in and Yun. "K'in" means sun and "Yun" moon in Yucatec Maya, and they certainly have the personalities to match (hot-tempered and calm respectively). This might be an allusion to the Maya Hero Twins, which do become the sun and moon at the end of their adventures.

General clarification on work content


* ''Toys/RainbowHigh'' has Sunny and Luna Madison, a set of PolarOppositeTwins who have themed names as well as themed colors. Sunny is -- naturally -- associated with the color yellow and sun motifs while Luna is associated with silver and darker motifs. They're also the only set of twins that are in two separate schools, with Sunny attending Rainbow High and Luna attending Shadow High. Notably, Sunny's first edition doll has a jacket with the connected sun and moon on the back, hinting at Luna's existence [[{{Foreshadowing}} long before her release]].

Due to its nature as an object that provides warmth and light, [[ThePowerOfTheSun the sun]] has played symbolic and important roles throughout the history of fiction. Undead or demonic creatures have been depicted as being [[GoodHurtsEvil vulnerable to it]], likely to its associations with {{light|EmUp}} and [[PlayingWithFire fire]]. If associated with malevolence, can go in line with LightIsNotGood--imagine sunburns, imagine merciless UV rays scorching everything they touch. This can get even worse with monsters and antagonists that are either made of those elements and/or are able to utilize them without any ill-effect to their being.

FridgeLogic may apply to any reference to moonlight affecting beings or objects since the moon has no actual light of its own (it's a hunk of space rock orbiting Earth) and its glow is just the sunlight that is being shone on the moon and reflected by it. Hence, in theory, anything that moonlight should trigger, normal sunlight should actually be triggering as well (and vice-versa). [[FanWank Of course, one may then theorize that this light somehow "changes" when reflected...]]

* "The Moon Will Sing" by Music/TheCraneWives is built around the singer [[CosmicMotifs comparing themself]] to the Moon and their abusive loved one to the Sun:
