but if I found one then daytime change will be stable all the time?There's no way to calc one. Orbital rotation is pretty much random. You can just check as many planets as you can or maybe search EDSM, the data is probably logged somewhere. If you ask nice Anthor might even write you a list.
Heeyyy. But what about SOL?
Does it have 24/h cycle like in our system? I mean if land on planet will the cycle be same as in real time?What about it?

every planet is moving. with day and night
Well, except a few hundred billion tidally locked worlds.

Quite surprising we still have CMDRs who've never noticed locations being different on different landings, and never seen a sunrise / sunset ...
Here's the first few around Sol, should be landable. Quite surprising we still have CMDRs who've never noticed locations being different on different landings, and never seen a sunrise / sunset ...

The 24-hour day/night circle is in Sol pretty much exclusive to Earth, which we can't land on. Other planets and moons are landable, but you'll have to check the system map to see if the world is tidally locked (always facing the body it orbits) or not.Does it have 24/h cycle like in our system? I mean if land on planet will the cycle be same as in real time?
Thanks a lot for posting it, I did not know there is such a thing like behaviour change of volcanic and bio sites on sunrise / sunset. I'll definitely check it out myself!I've sat through a few sunrises and sunsets in both the old volcanic sites and bio sites, watching the fumaroles and vents slowly start activating as the ice heats up with the rising of the sun is quite an experience, and sitting in the mists of a Brain Tree site as the sun slowly pushes it's way through, well they were fun days, I must try that on atmospheric worlds one day!
Even then the tidal lock is often imperfect. There's a few inhabited ones near me which are marked as tidally locked on the map, and over the few days of their orbit the side facing the sun doesn't noticeably change, but over a period of several months the sun does rise and set because the rotational and orbital periods aren't exactly the same. Obviously a simplification of the stellar forge that causes them to rotate rather than oscillate relative to the star in that situation.Well, except a few hundred billion tidally locked worlds.
