On July 8, at approximately 11:10 GMT, about 99 percent of the global population, approximately 8.2 billion people, will experience daylight or twilight simultaneously due to Earth’s tilt and the Northern Hemisphere’s summer. During this brief moment, around 6.9 billion people will be in full daylight, while 581 million will experience civil twilight, and only 83 million will be in complete darkness. This phenomenon occurs for about 60 days each year, with July 8 being noted for having one of the highest overlaps.
