There are 24 hours in a day. The day is divided into daytime and nighttime. Daytime is the time of day when the sun is visible in the sky, providing light and heat, from sunrise to sunset. Nighttime is when the sun has done down, the sky becomes dark and the moon is visible, from sunset to sunrise. What is your favourite time of day?
