YellowApple, Inc. just disregards traditional day/night cycles, and instead uses kiloseconds and megaseconds (except that YellowApplans use base-16, so one "kilosecond" is actually 4096 seconds - 1000 seconds in base-16 - and one "megasecond" is 4096 kiloseconds). 16 kiloseconds is equivalent to 18.2 hours (18 hours, 12 minutes, 16 seconds), and is thus the standard YellowApplan "day" length. This applies everywhere, even on Earth.
