Daylight
Daylight or the light of day is the combination of all direct and indirect sunlight outdoors during the daytime. This includes direct sunlight, diffuse sky radiation, and (often) both of these reflected from the Earth and terrestrial objects. Sunlight scattered or reflected from objects in outer space (that is, beyond the Earth's atmosphere) is generally not considered daylight. Thus, moonlight is never considered daylight, despite being "indirect sunlight". Daytime is the period of time each day when daylight occurs.Daylight happens because the earth rotates and either side the sun shines on is coscidered daylight.

“I thought of rhyme alone,
For rhyme can beat a measure out of trouble
And make the daylight sweet once more....”

When daylight comes, comes in the light;

though not so wholly but throughout the night
she woke sometimes to feel the daylight coming
like a relentless milkman up the stairs.”
