Earth's Night and Day
Trying to add further realism to the conditions of the Earth, I like to see where the night and day side of the Earth is at the moment. Someone recently posted a new attempt at showing the Earth's night and day 
conditions, and it updates automatically every 10 minutes.
I prefer to just leave this in My Places and turn it on when I want to see where the sun is setting or rising at the moment. Turn it off to continue browsing without this extra image interfering with your view.

Hi, to deactivate complete Night view please uncheck the "Earth City Lights" in the NASA level.

as wunold mentioned:
1) open Google Earth
2) if not open already open "Layers" payne on left hand side of Google Earth
3) scroll to and click the "Gallery" node
4) this will expand the "Gallery" node
5) on the "Gallery" branch click the "NASA" node
6) this will expand the "NASA" node
7) on the expanded "NASA" branch, click the "Earth City Lights" node
8) now click on the "Earth City Lights" check box and the view will change to day light.
Thanks wunold, hope this helps a little more
