how to distinguish day/night with [NSDate date]?

Hi, after i get current device time by using [NSDate date], how do i know it's daytime or night now?

To be absolutely certain, I'd use a weather API like Yahoo's weather. Send the current location to the API, and you'll get back some data that contains the sunset and sunrise times for that area.

If the current time is past the sunset time... blammo.
