If you’re curious about where the sunlight is hitting the earth at any given moment in time, visit the “World Sunlight Map” web site.  Using computer simulation, the site shows the extent of lightness and darkness on the surface of the earth in realtime.  Cloud cover is also updated every 3 hours.  Towards the bottom, you can play around and view the map in various projections; the map default is Mercator but you can also view Peters, Mollweide or equirectangular projection maps.
