There is neither day nor night in space, but both - you can see both the sun and the stars at the same time, provided something like Earth is not blocking your view of the sun at the moment. This occurs about 60 miles up, but it is a gradual phenomena as you leave the atmosphere of Earth.

All that is required is to get up into space and travel away from the Earth's surface in some location that places you in between the Earth and the Sun. Now, that position changes from day to day, and varies with the time of day. In ideal conditions, you would launch yourself straight up into space at about 11:00 AM, your time, and keep going straight up.
Whenever you were comfortable with your elevation, you may coast along at about 18,000 - 20,000 Miles per Hour and enjoy full illumination from the Sun for as long as you can stand it. Notice, however, that being outside of the Earth's atmosphere, you are now fully exposed to the harmful effects of the Sun's radiation which were formerly eliminated by the atmosphere. Such things as intense X Rays and Gamma Rays will bombard you full strength and kill you in a fairly short period of time. I do not recommend it as a good way to go...

There is nothing vertical or horizontal in space... nothing upright or inverted... all along it is vacuum... nothing at all for infinite distance towards any direction...
Jet airliners use to fly at a distance of 11km from the earth’s surface… even at this distance I have not felt much of difference between day and night… the difference reduced considerably…
I think it might be 29000km where you would be directly in the line of sight with the sun… and would be free from day and night constellation…

Your question is incoherent, but I will take a stab at it.
Are you asking the limit of the earth's atmosphere? The boundary of space? It's about 120 miles straight up. You can get different opinions from different sources as to where the atmosphere leaves off and space begins.
Day and night have nothing to do with it.

There is no day & night in the space.
On earth, day arise due to the facing of your part of earth towards sun. But when this part goes opposite side, night arise due to lack of sunlight.
When you are in space, you niether feel day nor night.
because what happens in space that, there you can see sun but you at the same time you see darkness all around because there is no atmosphere or any optically dense material which can scatter light ( remember raman effect, due to which sky appears blue. ). So all the time darkness is with you along with the sun
you can only imagin this amazing phenomenan of space. To feel it you have to go in space

Can't tell the distance but there is only night in the space as there is no atmosphere. You cannot even see your hand brightly if it is not facing the sun (or any lighting object).
