Tomorrow (time)

Tomorrow
The date
	Tomorrow is between Tuesday, 04 August 2020 and Wednesday, 05 August 2020, subject to local time zone.

Tomorrow is a temporal construct of the relative future;[1] literally of the day after the current day (today), or figuratively of future periods or times. Tomorrow is usually considered just beyond the present and counter to yesterday. It is important in time perception because it is the first direction the arrow of time takes humans on Earth.

Philosophy

The use of terms such as tomorrow, now and future are part an a-series view which is part of the presentism philosophy of time.[2]
