Types of life on a planet in a sun-synchronous orbit?
Basically, a sun-synchronous orbit is where one side of an object is always facing a star as it revolves around it (much like our Moon is, which is where the phrase 'dark side of the moon' originates'). For a planet, this means one side of its hemisphere is locked to face the Sun while the opposite hemisphere will face away from it. This means the side facing the Sun will be in constant sunlight while the opposite side is in complete darkness, with a habitable zone will be possible in-between these opposing hemispheres.
If the habitable zone of a sun-synchronous planet existed, where this area is always in twilight, what life forms would be possible to evolve?
