The planet could just rotate really slowly or something. But then I guess the days would be really long. I don't know. I guess its not really plausible.

Well maybe but it seems unlikely. It doesnt really make sense that 80 would just be an arbitrary number without having actual signifigance in the world.

In The Emporer's Soul, (Sel) Shai says to Gaotona "'Yes, you worship the sun instead,' Shai said failing to keep the amusement out of her voice. 'Or, rather, eighty suns-believing that even though each looks the same, a different sun actually rises each day.'" This, while not exactly stating it, implies that a year on Sel is 80 days.
