Where does the sun go at night ?

Answer 1

On the other side of Earth

Answer 2

OK, the moon and stars are constantly in the sky, but the sun is so bright it covers the light from the moon and stars. The earth is rotating on an axis in circles, and it rotates around the sun. While the earth is twisting the sun is sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other that is what causes day vs. night. Example, get an object (anything really-just use a cup) and set it down on the floor, then get a top (the toy that spins around), make a black mark on one side and start spinning it a few inches from the cup. Now the sun represents the cup, the top represents the earth, and the blackspot represents whereever you live. When the black spot is facing the cup it's daylight when it is not it's dark. Alaska and a few other places are dark 1/2 the time and light 1/2 the time depending on where the earth is in it's circle around the sun (it goes around 1 time a year)

Answer 3

The Sun is in the same place as it always is - in the center of the Solar system- Since the earth rotates we move away from the sun into the part that doesnot receive sunlight. The Sun will eventually take a permanent vacation and go to bed when it will burn itself our about 3-5 billion years from now :)

Answer 4

So far, the sun is confined to the same place as where it is. It is the other solar system bodies surronding that goes "somewhere". In the case of the earth, it rotates on its own axis while revolving around the sun. It is just like rotating yourself around while going around around a bright lamp. When your facing the lamp, you will see the brightness (analogous of the day), when you turn your back from the lamp you won't see the light (abalogous to the night). That is the easiest comparison you can think of.

Your question reminded me of a poem I learned when I was young. An excerpt goes like this:

"I wonder why the sun is bright,
I wonder where it gets its light,
I wonder why it shines in the daylight,
And where it goes when out of sight?"

Well, would you mind figuring out my childhood wonderings? Thanks. Have a good "night"!☺

Answer 5

It becomes a light sucker instead of a dark sucker through a natural 24 hour cycle.
Sometimes, usually once a month it sucks in so much light that you can see it glow at night because its got too full. But most of the time it becomes something like a cresent or a half ball sort of shape, because over the course of a night its usually able to suck up all of the light without too much problem.

Answer 6

Where did you go to school? Everybody knows that the moon is the back side of the Sun. When you see the moon during the day, you are actually seeing a double reflection of the back side of the Sun (the Moon) which is reflected off the interior surface of the "Firmament" (Where God keeps the water he used for Noah's flood) it is then re-reflected to the opposite interior side of the Firmament where it appears normal in the sky. I hope this explains it for you.

Answer 7

the sun goes to a big party in the space with other suns.

Answer 8

that is by far the funniest question i have ever read in this section of yahoo answers,in fact the sun does not go any were,the earth that is infact rotating around it self,so that we can see day and night in 24 hour time,half of the earth is just not appearing to the sun for 12 hours and another half of the earth is appearing to the sun for 12 hours time,so u see day and night in ur position of the earth,the sun does not go any where my friend,half of the earth is just in another place with respect to the sun.i hope u understand these information.good luck to u.

Answer 9

The sun DOES NOT go anywhere. The earth moves around the sun. At the same time the earth is rotating itself. When its night for you, its day for the opposite side of the earth.

Here is a good model for you.
