Tomorrow is a special day - the Autumnal (Fall) Equinox. On this day, everyplace on Earth has 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. Each day after tomorrow we lose a few minutes of daylight until December 21st which is the Winter Solstice. On that day we will have only about 8.5 hours of daylight and 15.5 hours of darkness.

The website below shows the lit portion of the Earth:
