Mostly cloudy and partly sunny are the same thing... The difference is, partly sunny is used during the day, and the term mostly cloudy was meant for night (though mostly cloudy can be used in the day). Both imply a 7/10-9/10 coverage of clouds. Same goes for partly cloudy and mostly sunny.

I had no idea there was an actual explanation for this. Thank you!! It just has never made sense to me!

Odontophobia is the fear of teeth.

Really? People are afraid of teeth? I can understand being afraid of being bitten but, of the teeth themselves??
