Day / Night Split
Always exactly 50% / 50%
The terminator is always a great circle — the largest circle possible on a sphere. A great circle always divides a sphere into two equal halves. Day and night always share the Earth exactly equally. What changes with the seasons is where that boundary falls, not how much of the Earth it covers.
What You Are Seeing
The day side — face on
This globe uses an orthographic projection centered on the subsolar point — the sun is always facing you directly. The full night hemisphere is behind the globe, hidden from view. The small dark area visible near the south pole is the night side peeking around the edge — the rest of the darkness is on the far side of the Earth.
