Our yellow sun emits more than visible wavelengths of light. Even at night, shielded from the suns rays by our massive planet, we are still exposed to various electromagnetic emissions and other energy particles. For example, neutrinos. And our yellow sun emits different energy than a red sun. Superman is therefore not powered merely by visible light.

Superman's super-powers are by and large, extraordinary magnifications of ordinary human abilities. Just as an ordinary man can hurl a baseball, Superman can hurl an entire Planet. Just as an ordinary man can see across the room, Superman can see across the universe. As the years passed, however, the chroniclers endowed the Man of Steel with ever more spectacular powers to enable him to meet ever more exacting challenges. Today Superman can withstand the heat at the core of the sun, soar through the air at a speed thousands of times the speed of light, and extinguish a star with a puff of his breath as though it were merely a candle on a birthday cake
There have been many strong men in the world, but none with the amazing power of Superman, whose rippling steel muscles can blast boulders to dust and move mountains. In 1943, when Superman acts to avert the collapse of a massive undersea cavern, his mighty shoulders bear the weight of thousands of tons of rock and the terrific pressure of the ocean above it. In March 1965 Superman seizes a spacecraft manned by members of the Superman Revenge Squad and hurls it into a far distant galaxy light-years away from Earth.
have you read these . if can do these then he can stay at night without the help of the sun he is storing it at daytime and using at night.

His body can store solar energy for a limited amount of time, so he does not always need direct sunlight. Also, at night, the moon reflects sunlight, so he can still aborb the energy. Possibly if he was extremely taxed, he might weaken, but there should still be enough sun at night to keep him powered.

Superman's body store the energy from the sun thus hes like a rechargable batter. his cells keep the energy stored at all times and when its night he uses the energy his body stored during the day.

When they said that Superman got his powers from our sun. It was not meant literaly. He gets his powers from being in our solar system. Night or day it does not matter.

They 're not from the sun. Didn't you ever see Superman 2 or 3?
In one of them, Lex Luthor created a man, who was powered by the sun, and Superman defeated him, by causing an eclipse, but continued to fly.

Superman is a living solar battery that stores & uses solar radiation very efficiently, & has been storing it his entire life. So, Superman is able to tap into his reserves when there is no sunlight available.

he DOES NOT get his powers from the Sun.
He came from the lost planet Krypton, and differences of the physical properties of the two planets endowed him with his powers. On Krypton, he would be just like us.
