What is the difference between a partly cloudy day and partly sunny day? Does it just depend on your point of view ....like is the glass half empty or half full or is there more to it?
Thanks

I honestly do not know what the specific definition is, but I do know that both include some clouds in the sky, but not totally overcast. The main difference would be that in partly cloudy skies you have more clear areas than cloudy areas in the sky and with partly sunny, you have more clouds than clear areas.

That makes sense! Thank you John. (I think I asked you that question way back).
