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.
