Someday vs. Some day
Someday is an adverb; it means "at an indefinite time in future"
Example: Someday, he will realize his mistakes. [He will realize it at any moment in the future]
Example: Someday, he will realize his mistakes. [He will realize it at any moment in the future]
Some day is a phrase; it means "an unspecified single day in the past or future"
Example: They will take my interview some day next week. [The interview will be held on a fixed day (although not mentioned), not at any random time of a day]
So the difference between Someday and 'Some day' is the time period. Someday refers to any time, it doesn't focus on the 'day' part. Some day focuses on the date/day. But both the time and day are unspecific/undetermined here.
Example: They will take my interview some day next week. [The interview will be held on a fixed day (although not mentioned), not at any random time of a day]
