Quotes using the word day

A day, commonly understood as a solar day, is the time it takes for the Earth to make one rotation with respect to the Sun, measured from local noon to the following local noon. The word day may also refer to a day of the week or to a calendar date, as in answer to the question «On which day?» Day also refers to the part of the day that is not night — also known as ‘daytime’. The life patterns of many species are co-ordinated with Earth’s solar day and the cycle of day and night.
