Yes, it �s good. Here �s a context in which it would be used.
A: I went to the market Tuesday afternoon.
B: Oh, where were you earlier that day?

As Bruce implies, to use "earlier that day," both the speaker and listener need to think about the same day. Another possible context is a police interrogation. |
