The curved line between light and dark is the terminator — the moving boundary where the Sun is rising or setting. Earth is always exactly half lit; the terminator sweeps westward at about 1,600 km/h at the equator as the planet rotates.
The point where the Sun is directly overhead (the subsolar point) tracks the seasons: it sits on the equator at the equinoxes, reaches the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N) at the June solstice, and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°S) at the December solstice. That is why polar regions get 24-hour daylight or 24-hour night near the solstices.
Positions here are computed from the Sun's declination and the equation of time (NOAA solar algorithm). They show the geometric horizon; civil twilight keeps the sky bright for roughly 30 minutes past the line.
