Day - 30 hours.
All day and night time measurements are measured according to equatorial readings and standardized via spatial communications.
Time zones applies, and are counted from Yuan Zhong Time Zone, YZTZ +0.
Week - 7 days.
Month - Each month is measured by a new moon. Yuan Zhong has more than ten thousand moons, however there is only 1 major Moon which dwarfs all others and rotates around the equator. All empires uses this as a system to measure the dates from the 10th era onward.
