No ... this is why we have time zones. As the Earth rotates on its axis different regions will have daylight at different times each day. For instance, in western America it can be 8am and in Easter Europe it will be 5pm. Europe will be in darkness about 9 hours before western America.

∙ 11y agoBecause the Earth is a sphere (ball), only half of the planet is illuminated by the Sun at any given time. The half facing the Sun has day, the half facing away has night.
This also explains why local time is different around the world, since it can only be noon (sun directly overhead) for one narrow slice of longitude at a time as the planet rotates.
When it is noon at the Prime Meridian (0° longitude), a new calendar day begins at midnight along the International Date Line (180° longitude). For 1 second just before midnight there, practically the entire planet is on the same calendar day.

No, it is not day all over the world at the same time due to the Earth's rotation on its axis, which creates day and night. Different parts of the world experience daylight and darkness at different times. This is why we have different time zones to account for the variations in local times around the world.
