    See also: Day (language)''A day (symbol: d) is a unit of time. It is not an SI unit but it is accepted for use with the SI. The SI unit of time is the second.It has several definitions.

    Definition of day in SI - There is one day for every 86,400 seconds.

    Definition of day in Astronomy - For a given planet, there are two types of day defined in Astronomy:1 apparent sidereal day = a single rotation of a planet with respect to the distant stars (for earth it is 23.934 hours)1 solar day = a single rotation of the planet with respect to the overhead position of the star.

    Origin - The term comes from the Latin ''dies'' meaning day.

    Colloquial definition of day - The word refers either to the period of light when the Sun is above the local horizon or to the full day covering a dark and a light period. , the Norse god of the day, rides his horse in this 19th century painting by Peter Nicolai Arbo.]]

    Introduction - Different definitions of the day are based on the apparent motion of the Sun across the sky (solar day; see solar time). The reason for this apparent motion is the rotation of the Earth around its axis, as well as the revolution of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.A day, as opposed to night, is commonly defined as the period during which sunlight directly reaches the ground, assuming that there are no local obstacles. Two effects make days on average longer than nights. The Sun is not a point, but has an apparent size of about 32 minutes of arc. Additionally, the atmosphere refractionrefracts sunlight in such a way that some of it reaches the ground even when the Sun is below the horizon by about 34 minute of arcminutes of arc. So the first light reaches the ground when the centre of the Sun is still below the horizon by about 50 minutes of arc. The difference in time depends on the angle at which the Sun rises and sets (itself a function of latitude), but amounts to almost seven minutes at least.Ancient custom has a new day start at either the rising or setting of the Sun on the local horizon (Italian reckoning, for example). The exact moment of, and the interval between, two sunrises or two sunsets depends on the geographical position (longitude as well as latitude), and the time of year.A more constant day can be defined by the Sun passing through the local meridian, which happens at local noon (upper culmination) or midnight (lower culmination). The exact moment is dependent on the geographical longitude, and to a lesser extent on the time of the year. The length of a such a day is nearly constant. This is the time as indicated by sundials.A further improvement defines a fictitious mean Sun that moves with constant speed over the equator; the speed is the same as the average speed of the real Sun, but this removes the variation over a year as the Earth runs its orbit around the Sun.The Earth has, over time, had an increasingly longer day. The original length of one day, when the Earth was new, is actually closer to 23 hours. This phenomenon is due to the tides raised by the Moon which slow the Earth's rotation. Because of the way the second is defined, the mean length of a day is now about 86,400.002 seconds, and is increasing by about 2 milliseconds per century. See tidal acceleration for details.

    Civil Day - For civil purposes, since the middle of the 19th century when railroads with regular schedules came into use, a common clock time has been defined for an entire region based on the mean local solar time at some central meridian. For the whole world, about 30 such time zones are defined. The main one is "world time" or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).The present common convention has the civil day start at midnight, which is near the time of the lower culmination of the mean Sun on the central meridian of the time zone. A day is commonly divided into 24 hours of 60 minutes of 60 seconds each.

    Leap seconds - In order to keep the civil day aligned with the apparent movement of the Sun, leap seconds may be inserted.A civil clock day is typically 86400 SI seconds long, but will be 86401 s long in the event of a leap second.Leap seconds are announced in advance by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service which measures the Earth's rotation and determines whether a leap second is necessary. Leap seconds occur only at the end of a UTC month, and have only ever been inserted at the end of June 30 or December 31.

    Astronomy - In astronomy, the sidereal day is also used; it is about 3 minutes 56 seconds shorter than the solar day, and close to the actual rotation period of the Earth, as opposed to the Sun's apparent motion. In fact, the Earth spins 366 times about its axis during a 365-day year, because the Earth's revolution about the Sun removes one apparent turn of the Sun about the Earth.

    Boundaries of the day - For most diurnal animals, including ''Homo sapiens'', the day naturally begins at dawn and ends at sunset. Humans, with our cultural norms and scientific knowledge, have supplanted Nature with several different conceptions of the day's boundaries. In Judaism there is a doubt if the day begins at sunset in Judaismsunset and ends in the sunset of the next day or begins in Tset HaKokhavim and ends in Tset HaKokhavim of the next day. Middle AgesMedieval Europe followed this tradition, known as Florentine reckoning: in this system, a reference like "two hours into the day" meant ''two hours after sunset'' and thus needs to be shifted back one calendar day in modern reckoning. Days such as Christmas Eve, Hallowe'en, and the Eve of Saint Agnes are the remnants of the older pattern when Holidayholidays began the evening before. Present common convention is for the civil day to begin at Midnightmidnight, that is 00:00, and last a full twenty-four Hourhours until the next 00:00 (also known as 24:00, but this is not as widely used).In the United States, nights are named after the previous day, ''e.g.'' "Friday night" usually means the entire night between Friday and Saturday. This is the opposite of the Jewish pattern. This difference from the civil day often leads to confusion. Events starting at midnight are often announced as occurring the day before. TV-guides tend to list nightly programs at the previous day, although programming a Videocassette recorderVCR requires the strict logic of starting the new day at 00:00 (to further confuse the issue, VCRs set to the 12-hour clock notation will label this "12:00 AM"). Expressions like "today", "yesterday" and "tomorrow" become ambiguous during the night.Validity of Tickettickets, passes, etc., for a day or a number of days may end at midnight, or closing time, when that is earlier. However, if a service (e.g. public transport) operates from e.g. 6:00 to 1:00, the last hour may well count as being part of the previous day (also for the arrangement of the timetable). For services depending on the day ("closed on Sundays", "does not run on Fridays", etc.) there is a risk of ambiguity. As an example, for the Dutch Railways, a day ticket is valid 28 hours, from 0:00 to 4:00 the next night.
