Sounds like a trick question. The way it is worded the answer would have to be no, the sun is not shining at on the part that is experiencng nightime. If it were it would be daytime. Of course the sun would be shining on the opposite side of the earth where it is, in fact, daytime. Satellite TV transmissions bring that point home. If you are watching a TV news show at night in the US and the Correspondent is broadcasting live from Iraq it is daylight there. Another interesting thing. There will be about a 2 second delay between the question asked over here and the answer from the foreign reporter due to the fact that radio waves, even when traveling at the speed of light, take time to get from Iraq to here. Ain't science wonderful?

The answer to this question is in fact, no. The sun is a very unique star in the fact that it can turn into a moon at night. You watch it go down, but by the time it becomes fully invisible, it has already traveled around the world and has become the moon. The moon then does the same process, and it becomes the sun, as it rises in the morning. How can the moon and sun be out simultaneously then? Easy, there's 2 suns. One for the east side of the world, and one for the west.

Even though you cant see it at night it really is still shining. When the sun stops shining the orbit of the planets will come off the axis that they are on and it would be total destruction. I really hope that this star doesn't stop shining in my life time. That would be way too scary. You don't have to offer money for the best answer so why do it?

First of all, this has to be one of the stupidest questions in the world. Of course the sun's still shines at nighttime.....People on the other side of the world experience what we like to call daytime, which is the exact opposite of nighttime. Now give me ten points just for being a smart aleck..... :D

Yeah, the sun is always shining - except at nighttime the vastness of the Earth is blocking it out and you're on the side that it can't see.
Where's my $300?!

The answer is No.
Night Time is a specific condition in a specific area. When you say Night Time, you are already referring to an area that the sun does not shine, however the area must have sun shining at another to qualify having a Night Time at all.

Yes the sun is still shinning, just on one side of the earth at a time. Keep the 300$ its common knowledge.
