Day/Night of a body
I'm planning for a base on the mun and want to understand the amount of time it will spend in darkness.
While there are plenty of charts and calc to calc that time in orbit I cant find anything about dark time while on planet.
I think Flight Engineer Redux has it but want to confirm.
It says Body rotation perod of 6days+. Would that be the body amount of time the body takes to rotate on its axis?

Any charts, links and a confirm of what I think about flught engineer is appreciated.

the Mun rotation is roughly 6.5 Kerbin days, or once every 39 hours.

I figured. I waited in orbit and it was about what flight engineer said.
How many hours in a kerbin day are there?

The Mun is evil.

That day/night cycle really is a pain.
