The Earth rotates. In the day, the side of the earth were you live is facing the sun. At night, the side of the earth where you live is away from the sun. The light you see during the day, is from the sun. At night the earth blocks the suns light and makes it dark.

You know the sun make day time having light and at night the moon can not shine the light by her's self. And as we know the sun are the couple of the moon. Now the sun are very interested by many girls and he is also boring for the moon because they stay together for a long long time then he need to escape form the moon for a party's then he almost ran away and the moon love him very much then need to follow and catch him, Just like this we can found day have light and night have dark..ok?

Because the Sun is shining on the side of the Earth that is facing the Sun who's light is heading tword the side of Earth that is facing the sun which makes it light in day
The Sun is no longer shining on the side of the Earth which is dark which makes it dark, the only light comes from reflected light from the MOON.

Well, not everywhere is it always dark at night and light in the day... in the Arctic regions it can be dark all dayand night or light all day and night. :0) But yes, that all depends on where we are and what angle with regard to the sun and it's rays.

The earth revolves full circle in 24 hours. When the part of the earth that you live on rotates away from the sun, you have a period of darkness. We call that night time. :)

Because the sun is switched off at night to save energy and so the Irish can make a manned trip to the sun.

It is an important question. Obvious answer is there is no sun at night. but cannot the star light fill the night sky.?In principle it can , but the universe is not old enough for that.If you are really interesed , go to an astronomy text.

Light must reflect off of an object for you to see it. Kinda like when you go to the movies. You see some light reflecting off the dust over your head but the major source reflects off the screen. Kinda like the moon and the stars

earth spins so when it comes to a certain time in the day the moon then comes into line between the sun and earth therefore blocking the light
