The sun is a mass of incandescent gasnote actually a miasma of incandescent plasma. Or possibly a chariot wheel, a very large flashlight, or a two-dimensional painting on the cosmic backdrop that is the sky. Forget everything you know about Mr. Sunnote And in several languages — and in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth — it's Ms. Sun, thank you very much. because, in Fiction Land, it's all wrong. Unlike Weird Moon, the occurrence of these is rarer, except in animations where they're more common. Common oddities: The Sun appears much larger in the sky than it does in real life. Sun in fiction sometimes has visible rays. In real life, sunray-like effect can exist with a phenomenon called Tyndall effect. However, in fiction, rays can be present in various ways: They're sector-like and cover the whole sky. They're triangular and only extend within a short distance from the sun, making it have a bit of spiky appearance. They have solid lines as rays, often black-colored. Also known as Solrads. They leave only a few yellow or yellow-white rays even in places where the air is clear. The Sun is plain yellow or orange-yellow even when it's high in the sky and showing it doesn't cause eye irritation. It's getting darker already when the Sun is starting to go down to the horizon instead of getting dark some time after setting, even when it's not very cloudy. Solar eclipses in fiction are never partial. The Sun (and other celestial bodies) are shown to move from right to left in shows set in the Northern Hemisphere. This happens most often when stock footage of a sunset is played backwards to show a sunrise. It has a face and may talk. It wears sunglasses Related to Weird Moon. A subtrope of Artistic License – Space, and a supertrope of The Face of the Sun. |

Some of the Territories in The Pendragon Adventure have very weird suns. One has three suns which rise and set at the same time and overlap each other at midday, another has a rising and setting band of light stretching across the whole sky. No explanation is ever given for how these systems work. | |

There's more than one sun in Sunless Skies but the only one you can get close to is the artificial "Clockwork Sun" that lights up Albion (the zone in space where London has migrated to). Like the sun in Digital Devil Saga, it is malevolent and turns unprotected people to glass. It's extremely evil, causes terror for miles around, and the only reason anyone built the damn thing is light is needed to keep the laws of reality in check in the High Wilderness (the weird limbo that the game takes place in). There was some apparent misunderstanding about the builders ability to actually control it. | |

Planet Popstar's sun is relatively normal in appearance, using the traditional cartoony "circle with triangles sticking out of it" design. The weirdness comes from the fact that it's exactly as big as Popstar's moon. This sun is also apparently sentient, as the plot of the Milky Way Wishes subgame in Kirby Super Star is kicked off by it getting into a fight with the moon. | |

The Lylat system from Star Fox 64 has a weird sun. There are firebirds and lava-snakes living inside it. All promotional information stated that Solar was not the star of the system, but a planet. Although this could go back to the whole "all objects are planets in Japanese" problem. Star Fox Command posits that Lylat is a binary system, with Solar being a red dwarf (although it still refers to Solar as the "Red Hot Planet"). The official player's guide for Star Fox 64 claims that Solar is quite cold for a star. |

Dark Souls III has a sun that gets progressively more weird as the game continues. By the end of the game, it appears to be in a total eclipse, just being a ring of fire surrounding a black circle... except that it also appears to be "bleeding" fire in a stream down to the ground. The overall effect makes it look very similar to the Darksign, the brand that marks the cursed Undead. | |

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: The Land of the Chained Sun was a portion of Aqshy whose "sun" was in fact the fiery, coiled body of the god-serpent Ignax, who was bound in its skies by Griminr with god-forged chains to serve as an eternal source of light. She remained in this role for the rest of the Age of Myth and much of the Age of Chaos, until her bonds were broken in Archaon's wars. | |

In The Mechanisms' Rock Opera "High Noon Over Camelot'', the setting is an O'Neill cylinder space station. The real sun isn't visible from the inside, and what the characters call the sun is a fluorescent light in the centre (there were apparently considerable behind-the-scenes debates about whether or not it's a tube). The real sun is also weird from the characters' perspective, since they've never seen it and don't really think about there being a world outside the station. Galahad is given a vision of it, and assumes the enormous fiery orb floating in an endless void is hell. | |

RPC Authority: RPC-548, the so-called "Hateful Star". Basically, it's a sentient star that exists at the heart of the Crab Nebula, thousands of light years away. It is slowly but surely moving towards Earth, and vocally expresses its intent to destroy us all through Morse code. It poses no immediate threat and probably won't do so for several thousand more years, but unfortunately, there's no way to stop it so when it gets to us, it will likely cause The End of the World as We Know It. | |

This sun is also apparently sentient, as the plot of the Milky Way Wishes subgame in Kirby Super Star is kicked off by it getting into a fight with the moon. There's also the semi-recurring boss Mr. Bright, a living sun with hands, feet, and an angry face, who is only moderately bigger than Kirby. Word of God states that he isn't the actual sun, though he and his partner Mr. Shine still seem to have some degree of control over the time of day in Dream Land. |

Rick and Morty: One planet seen revolves around a sun with a face which emits a never-ending scream. The sun's screaming can be heard from the planet's surface for the entirety of its daytime period, which is much longer than Earth's. Since the family is on the run from the Galactic Federation, they decide to skip hiding at the screaming sun's planet. "A Rick in King Morturs Mort" shows that Earth's sun functions normally, except for the society of medieval immortal Space Knights that live inside of it. |

SCP Foundation: One of the SCP-001 Proposals, "When Day Breaks", plays this for horror, as Earth's own sun becomes an anomaly, causing any organic lifeform to come into contact with sunlight to melt alive and turn into amorphous horrors that try to convert any unaffected humans they find.. This XK Scenario is one of the more infamous SCP-001 Proposals because of how bleak the concept of our sun betraying us is. SCP-1548-EX is a subversion. The SCP Foundation picked up on radio broadcasts of threats from the star and assumed it was a sentient being bent on our destruction. However, it later turned out that it was actually just random noise that was misinterpreted as threats. The quite-ordinary star then burned out before getting anywhere near earth. |

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: In this book, Caspian is leading an expedition into the east, hoping to find the edge of the (flat) world. As they go farther, the rising sun starts to look bigger and bigger each morning; it becomes blindingly bright, but not hotter. (Though drinking the magic water of this region makes the light more tolerable.) Also, the sun is apparently habitable to some creatures—every morning birds fly from it to bring Ramandunote a Sentient Star taking human form a berry that grows in its valleys, which slowly restore his lost youth. | |

In Soul Eater, the Sun has a giant face, complete with a conical nose, a giant toothy grin, it occasionally breathes fire, and it can laugh. It's also located inside the Earth's atmosphere. In the hotter regions of the world, it becomes even more intense-looking, and when it starts to set, it falls asleep. It has occasional dialogue, too, which is generally fairly pleasant. | |

The miniature sun in Spider-Man 2 shows no effects of radiant heat, radiation, or gravity on those nearby, having no effect on physical matter when handled by a set of metal arms (though they were specially designed to be impervious to heat and magnetism) or when idly floating in an unshielded "containment field". There's no way to estimate mass or density. Is the sun's own gravity holding it together, and is that gravity coming from its mass despite its size, as its miniatured molecules simulate macro-scale gravity while still allowing thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium at its core to take place, in a safe and cozy environment, without killing everyone nearby? | |

The Angry Beavers: In one episode, the beavers have been sent on a mission to the sun as disposable lab animals (not explorers, like they originally thought.) After watching a video (conveniently titled, "So You're Spiraling Into the Sun"), they stop the pull of the sun's gravity by creating a dam of space debris, just as they would dam a river. | |

The Daystar from Exalted is an enormous dirigible made of magical metals (surrounded by burning Essence) that is filled with chambers, requires a pilot, and is brimming with weapons of mass destruction. Unless something really bad happens, in which case it may transform into a four-armed mecha. It also knows Kung Fu. Ligier (Creation's sun prior to the Daystar, and current sun of Hell) is not only green, but also emits a light which does not cast shadows. He's also fully sentient and can create a humanoid form into which he can place a portion of his consciousness to be in multiple places at once. Also, despite the many, many layers of the city of Malfeas (different from the realm of Malfeas, but also the same as the realm of Malfeas - it's Yozi geometry, don't even try), Ligier shines above all of them at the same time. Infernals can learn the charm Sun-Heart Furnace Soul Solars are cursed to become insane over the long run. When the Sidereal realized this, they tried to peer into three different kind of futures: one where the Solars are overthrown, one where the Solars are reformed, and one where nothing was to be done about the Solars. When they tried to peer at that last one, they saw Creation have become a blasted wasteland with a pale sun hanging in a shattered sky. They freaked out, and near-unanimously took the first course of action. In Return of the Scarlet Empress, should the Unconquered Sun die, the Daystar becomes large and red, and the Holy keyword stops working. The flavor indicates that this happens because the Daystar's sentience is...annoyed that something has happened to its beloved master. |

In the Dungeons & Dragons setting Spelljammer (D&D IN SPACE), suns have the same gravity as any Earth-like planet, and all you need to survive on the (solid) surface is a fire-resistance spell. Some even have civilizations of fire elementals living on them. (Incidentally, suns are not stars. Suns are huge balls of fire; stars are little lights stuck to the inside of the crystal shells surrounding each system.) The crossover nature of Spelljammer means that Spelljammer's description of suns applies (or applied, at least, given the two editions since then) to most campaign settings, even ones where it would not otherwise come up. In the Hollow World, the sun is a pinpoint gateway to the Plane of Fire, and it shut down and left the planet's interior in darkness for a week during the Wrath of the Immortals Story Arc. The sun in Ravenloft looks normal enough, and works fine against vampires and the like, but travelers who actually try to reach it via spelljamming pass into the Mists rather than wildspace, suggesting it's a projection or illusion. There's an arid, inhospitible setting called Dark Sun. Though this is mostly just a name; the sun there isn't markedly different from the sun in any other setting. |

RWBY: Fairy Tales of Remnant: In the Remnant fairy tale The Gift of the Moon, humanity accidentally broke the original sun. They managed to get it back into the sky, but it was a broken shadow of itself, unable to do more than shine dimly. Its rays also scattered, creating stars. Humanity collected up the spilled sunlight and built a huge glass sun to contain it. They then hoisted it into the sky and tied it to the old sun with rope. The original sun was renamed the moon, and now the Remnant is lit with a fake sun by day, and the darkness is lit with the real, broken sun by night as it drags the fake sun through the sky behind it. | |

Super Mario Bros.: One of the most notable weird suns is the Angry Sun, an enemy introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3 that hangs in the sky and periodically swoops down to try and attack Mario. After a 31-year absence in the main series, it would return as a placeable enemy in Super Mario Maker 2, gaining two Retraux designs for the Super Mario Bros and Super Mario World themes and a strange, not really angry Mesoamerican-style design for the New Super Mario Bros. U theme. The Angry Sun also appears as a background character in the Super Mario Bros. 3-inspired Desert Hills course in Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii, shooting Fire Snakes onto the course to slow down the racers. In Super Mario Galaxy, Bowser uses the power of the Grand Stars to create a large, hollow artificial sun with multiple holes in it that would serve as the center of his new galaxy. The final fight against Bowser has he and Mario travel to two small planetoids orbiting the sun before finishing the fight inside the sun itself. Paper Mario 64 has a stranger one, the (or possibly "a") sun is at the top of a relatively short tower with a diameter of less than 12' and has an owl like face. It's bummed because the clouds that the Koopa Troop have spread over Flower Fields keep him from bringing light to the place. |

Werewolf: The Apocalypse: Several weird suns can be found. In the Umbra's Aetherial Realm, travelers can visit the sun, which is ruled by the celestine Hyperion and populated by solar spirits. The umbral sun is solid and habitable, and travelers can ride the solar winds it emits to other parts of the Aetherial Realm. In Malfeas, the Umbral nerve center of the Wyrm, the desert ruled by the Nameless Angel of Despair has a huge black sun hanging overhead. One portent of the Apocalypse is the appearance of Anthelios, a huge red "anti-sun" that can be seen in the skies of both the Umbra and the physical world.

Kill Six Billion Demons: The sun in Throne (the city at the centre of the multiverse) is "broken", meaning it no longer moves; as a result, part of the city is cast in eternal day, and part is in eternal night. Notably, both sides are equally dangerous. When the demiurge Yemmod conquered the world of Rayuba, its sun was among the resources he plundered from the place. When Solomon David, a native of Rayuba, slew Yemmod and replaced him as a demiurge, he put two new suns in its sky. When asked about the precise physics of both events, the author essentially stated not to think about it so hard. |

In The Elder Scrolls series, The sun is, according to most creation myths, a hole punctured in reality by Magnus, the God of Magic, when he escaped from the mortal plane into Aetherius in order to avoid sacrificing a large portion of his power (and thus, his immortality) like the Aedra in order to create the mortal world. The stars were similarly punctured by his followers, the Magna-Ge. Through the sun and stars flows in magic from Aetherius, visible as nebulae in the night sky. | |

Fate/Grand Order: In Lostbelt 2, Gotterdammerung, the sun is a absolutely enormous and instead of its regular yellow-ish light, it appears to be red. Absolutely none of the locals think that's odd, even though the strangeness of the sun is the first thing Chaldea notices once they arrive. It turns out that the "sun" is actually Surtr's body. In Lostbelt 7, Nahui Mictlan, the sun is green, and the Deinos worship it as the goddess Kulkukan. Turns out, that's not a celestial body at all. That thing is the heart of the resident Eldritch Abomination ORT, which was ripped out of its body to replace the previous sun which died out. Even stranger, because of the Deinos worship, the heart developed its own consciousness which took the form of th goddess Kulkukan. Kulkukan is perfectly aware of what she is and considers her namesake - the actual mythological figure - to be a role model. Also from Lostbelt 7, we are treated to Tezcatlipoca and his sun, which is entirely black and not really illuminating anything. He summons it in his extra attacks and his Noble Phantasm, and it also serves as the background for his boss fight. |

In Magic: The Gathering the artificial plane of New Phyrexia (formerly Mirrodin) has five suns, one for each color of mana (white, blue, red, green and black.) Each sun allows very powerful spells of that color to be cast at their zenith. (These are represented by the cards White Sun's Zenith, Blue Sun's Zenith, Red Sun's Zenith, Green Sun's Zenith and Black Sun's Zenith.) They are also the plane's only natural sources of mana, since the plane is metallic in nature and metal lacks mana alignment. Any other source of mana on the plane is imported. Amonkhet has two suns, one apparently normal and the Second Sun, a "magical orb" that moves slowly across the sky. It is the source of Oketra's and Hazoret's (two gods) magic, and it is timed by Bolas to align in a monument, as it is essentially a countdown timer to The End of the World as We Know It when the plane becomes unnecessary for his plans. Existing mostly as a rules riff on the iconic Blood Moon, the plane of Ixalan has at least once experienced a "Blood Sun." |

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (specifically Stardust Crusaders), the Sun is a Stand of all things. Well, actually the Stand is standing in for the real Sun, in order to try and take out the heroes, by giving off ludicrous levels of heat and attacking with solar lasers. It is only dispelled when they manage to knock out the Stand's user. | |

The Sun in Digital Devil Saga isn't just weird, it's also the capital-G God and an afterlife of some sort. And it's deeply angered by the humans, he turns everything touched by his ray into stone. In fact, you have to fight him to earn his forgiveness. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Daemon World of Medrengard, home of the Iron Warriors, orbits a pitch-black sun that scours its white skies with black lightning. The Tyrant Star, which may or may not be an Eldritch Abomination. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The sun is the good old ball o' plasma we know and love... but it doesn't seem to work like ours do. Instead of gravity keeping it orbiting around the planet its magically controlled by a Physical God pony princess while her sister controls the moon. Before them, unicorns kept the sun and moon on the right path. In the Season 4 starter "Princess Twilight Sparkle", when both Celestia and Luna are out of action, the sun only illuminates half the sky over Equestria — the other half is night, complete with moon. Later, in "Between Dark and Dawn", the sun and moon are show as being in front of, rather than behind, the clouds. | |

Doctor Who: "42" has a sentient star which can possess beings that stare into it long enough, even the Doctor. "The Eleventh Hour". The Sun abruptly goes wibbly, which naturally gets everyone's attention. So what's wrong with it? "Amy's Choice" has a cold sun. Granted, it was part of a dream. "The Big Bang": All the stars in the universe died when the TARDIS blew up, so what is the sun that the Earth and Moon have been orbiting for the past 2,000 years? It's the time-looped exploding TARDIS! |

In Super Mario Galaxy, Bowser uses the power of the Grand Stars to create a large, hollow artificial sun with multiple holes in it that would serve as the center of his new galaxy. The final fight against Bowser has he and Mario travel to two small planetoids orbiting the sun before finishing the fight inside the sun itself. | |

Sheriff Callie's Wild West: In "Here Comes the Sun", when Toby and Peck can't sleep during their and Callie's desert campout because of the night noises, they decide to borrow Callie's noodle lasso to rope the sun in order to make it so that it's not nighttime anymore. It works. Daytime comes, but the sun is too close, so Nice and Friendly Corners undergoes a massive heat-wave. Toby and Peck then decide to try to fix the problem by roping the moon to bring back the night, what the Prairie Dog Trio refers to as "trying to fix a mistake with another mistake." They rope the moon alright, but it doesn't bring back the night. Oh, and the moon is blue cheese, which starts raining down on Nice and Friendly Corners. | |

In one issue of Web Warriors, when Spider-Gwen is on Spider-Ham's world, one thing that weirds her out is that she can look straight at the sun, which is a cartoony yellow disk with rays coming off it, even though it's apparently producing the same amount of light as on a normal world. | |

Fallen London takes place in a wacky underworld Neath where the sun doesn't exist, but the horrifying secrets you learn about the sun there reveal that's technically a good thing; Every sun in the Fallen London universe is an Eldritch Abomination Reality Warper god, and their sunlight determines what is real. They've also imposed a Fantastic Caste System on most of the universe, and beings of the Neath have the caste ranking of 'should be dead' and thus will die if they touch natural sunlight. Upon learning these things, half of La Résistance has decided to murder the sun. There's more than one sun in Sunless Skies but the only one you can get close to is the artificial "Clockwork Sun" that lights up Albion (the zone in space where London has migrated to). Like the sun in Digital Devil Saga, it is malevolent and turns unprotected people to glass. It's extremely evil, causes terror for miles around, and the only reason anyone built the damn thing is light is needed to keep the laws of reality in check in the High Wilderness (the weird limbo that the game takes place in). There was some apparent misunderstanding about the builders ability to actually control it. And then there's the Halved, a sun that has had a lot of drama happen to it and now shines darkness. Everyone knows this isn't normal, but the Halved intentionally suppresses any information about its past. |
