"in the day" or "at day"?

When we talk about time, we can say:
"5 o'clock in the morning",
or
"8 o'clock in the evening".
If I want to emphasize that something has happened at day time, can I say:
"1 o'clock in the day",
or
"1 o'clock at day"?

Thank you.

"1 o'clock in the afternoon" (An hour after noon.)
"1 o'clock in the morning" (You should be asleep. This is an hour after midnight.)

Thank you guys for the replies.
The thing is, where I live there is a different notion of morning and day.
Say, nobody considers 11 AM as a morning time.
So, if I want to emphasize that I am talking about day time (as opposed to evening), what expressions can I use?
Can I say instead "11 o'clock at day time"?

AM means "morning" but definition.

AM, also a.m., is an abbreviation of Latin ante meridiem (before noon)
PM, also p.m., is an abbreviation of Latin post meridiem (after noon)
