  EnglishLink English Vocabulary: Day and night
 
 
 
Tip:
Từ day có thể được hiểu theo 2 nghĩa:
1. khoảng thời gian kéo dài 24 tiếng tính từ giữa đêm của ngày hôm trước tới ngày hôm sau.

2. thời gian từ lúc mặt trời mọc cho đến khi mặt trời lặn (ban ngày, để phân biệt với ban đêm night)

There are 24 hours in a day. The day is divided into "day(time)" and "night(-time)". Daytime is from sunrise (this varies, but we can say approximately 6am) to sunset (we can say approximately 6pm). Night-time is from sunset to sunrise.

Every day starts precisely at midnight. AM (Ante-Meridiem = before noon) starts just after midnight. PM (Post-Meridiem=after noon) starts just after noon. This means that 12am and 12pm have no meaning.

This diagram shows the cycle of a 24-hour day and the words we use to describe its parts. The day starts at midnight (at the bottom of the diagram).
