Genesis 1:9-13 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called the Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Dry Ground appears and now God calls it Earth. And the waters are called seas. God brings forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind.
Earth begins to look like what we now know and so ends Day 3.

Did God take a 12-hour break?

Genesis 1:6-8 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

The firmament is put into the waters, with water under and above it and then He calls it Heaven. It appears the earth is surrounded by water with a canopy of water above, surrounding it, protecting the earth.
And so, Day 2 ends.

In the Bible, the firmament refers to the celestial arch or vault that separates the earthly realm from the waters above, as described in the Genesis creation narrative. It is often understood as a solid expanse or dome created by God to divide the waters and is associated with the sky or heavens.
The “firmament” (from the Latin firmamentum, meaning “sky” or “expanse”) is mentioned 17 times in the King James Version of the Bible and refers to the expanse of the heavens above the earth.
Genesis 1:6-8,14,15,17,20 9x
Psalm 19:1, 150:1 2x
Ezekiel 1:22,23,25,26, 10:1 5x

= 17x

Genesis 1:2-5 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Look at the description of the Earth: without form, void, dark, covered with water!
Then God lit it up by creating light. Then dividing light and dark into time periods called Day and Night. End day One.

Interesting that the term earth is mentioned here. It’s not till day 3 that dry ground is formed and then God calls it earth; And God called the dry land Earth.
