Day
Earth's full turn
Day is the period of light between sunrise and sunset, as opposed to night.
By extension, a day is a full 24-hour cycle: What day is it?
Days mark time in various ways—working days, school days, the day something happened.
In my day refers to an earlier era.
Day by day means gradually.
To call it a day is to stop working.
Those days are over means circumstances have changed.
