May they complain that it doesn't make sense to have day/night the way they are, you leave it up to their characters (or other scholars in the world) to find an explanation. You don't have to explain how something works unless it's very needed by a in-game situation. And it is a game, not an essay about an alternative set of physic laws to be made perfectly consistent, otherwise we could only play in a setting which is mostly identical to real life.Also consider the real life in ancient times: everyone at some point in history believed the earth was flat. Therefore, the earth was flat indeed. There was some occasional problem with it, and scholars made their theories to explain them. At every time in history, scientific knowledge doesn't exactly "know" but rather "describe" reality, only to find exceptions later on which require a revision on the laws used to describe.Sorry for the digression  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I just meant to say not to be stressed too much about this concern...</blockquote>
