re: "Because if you are using the lunar calendar, daytime 1 would be from 12 noon to about 6 pm (or at sunset). But I am using a solar calendar."
What the heck does it matter if you go by a lunar calendar or a solar calendar? As Richard1965 points out, either way a daytime goes from sunrise to sunset.
BTW, what do you call the period of time from sunrise to noon if not daytime?
A lunar calendar is from sunrise to sunset, a twelve hour period...
For your information, the Jews' day starts at sunset and ends the following day's sunset, 24 hour period. The Jews are using a lunar calendar with only 354/355 days in a lunar year. I am using a solar calendar that starts at midnight and ends the following day's midnight. It has 365/366 days in a solar year.

Please read my reply to Richard1965 regarding the difference between a lunar calendar and a solar calendar.

If you are using a lunar calendar, then noon to sunset is daytime1, as the Jews consider a fraction of a day as one day. But I am using a solar calendar which starts the day at midnight. Hence, the start of the 24-hour period is at midnight yet. The first 24-hour period is already Friday, the high day Sabbath.

Which day was the Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus?
Would someone explain to me why we should care about this?
