In the context of GCSE Maths, a "day" is a unit of time that lasts 24 hours and is used to measure periods from one midnight to the next. It is an important part of understanding how we divide and organise time. The day is made up of two main parts: daylight, when the sun is up, and nighttime, when the sky is dark. In maths, you might use days to calculate time differences or to understand schedules and timetables. This helps with solving problems related to time, such as working out durations or planning activities.
