A planet where the same side is always facing the primary star may never have sunset, because the sun is always either facing that part or on the other side of the planet (either always night or always day).
Additionally a planet with more than one sun may, by some freak of nature and physics, have permanent daylight over some, most or all of its surface while any unlit area remains unlit forever. For the same reason as above, always night or always day, so no sunset.

∙ 10y agoIt is the relative sizes of the various wavelengths of light, as compared to molecules of air, which determines the types of scattering that take place, altering the color of sunlight. The green colors, really a mixture of blue and yellow, have shorter wavelengths than red, and react more with air molecules.

What causes the earth to have periods of light and darkness?
The rotation. When the earth rotates, sides of it don't see the sun. Which are like sunsets and sunrises. The earth is rotating which takes away light and gives light.
What color is close to an earthy green?
hunter green, moss green
Why green mountains called green mountains?
Because of the green mountain boys
Why is the sky blue while the grass is green?
The sky is blue because the atmosphere scatters sunlight. Light with shorter wavelengths (blue, purple, violet) is scattered more in the atmosphere, so the sky appears blue; this is the same reason that sunsets and sunrises appear red and orange: at sunset/sunrise, the sun's light hits the atmosphere at a low angle, increasing the distance that the light must travel through the atmosphere. Thus, more colors are 'scattered out', even the blue-end of the spectrum, leaving red and orange colors.
Why is the sky green before hail?
Scott Bachmeier, a research meteorologist at the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies at UW-Madison, says that particles in the air scatter light. In the day, the particles scatter more violet and blue light, but our eyes are more sensitive to blue light - that's why the sky appears blue. Thunderstorms, which can be the home of tornadoes, usually happen later in the day, when the sun is approaching the horizon. That creates a reddish tinge in the sky, as any fan of sunsets knows. But light under a 12-mile high thundercloud is primarily blue, due to scattering by water droplets within the cloud. When blue objects are illuminated with red light, Bachmeier says, they appear green. Green is significant, but not proof that a tornado is on the way. A green cloud "will only occur if the cloud is very deep, which generally only occurs in thunderstorm clouds," Bachmeier says. "Those are the kind of storms that may produce hail and tornadoes." Green does indicate that the cloud is extremely tall, and since thunderclouds are the tallest clouds, green is a warning sign that large hail or a tornado may be present. If this explanation is confusing, Bachmeier offers some alternative folk wisdom for the color change: that tornadoes sucked frogs and grasshoppers into the sky.
