Tomorrow (time)

Tomorrow is a temporal construct of the relative future; literally of the day after 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.

Learning and language

For a young child, "tomorrow" is "an undefined, infinite time away, yet the child slowly learns the meaning of tomorrow." The concept of "tomorrow" is rarely understood by 3-year-old children, but 4 year olds understand the idea.
