Tomorrow
is a
temporal construct
of the relative
future
;
[1]
literally of the
day
after the current day (
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.

For a young child, "tomorrow" is "an undefined, infinite time of the idea that time is just an infinite and arbitrary definition of an yet unidentified of what we like to call time, 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.
