Why is it day time in Australia when it's night time in Africa?

Simply put, as the Earth makes its daily rotation about its axis, one side is always facing the Sun while the opposite side faces away from the Sun. The side facing away from the Sun, whether it's Australia or England, experiences night. London and Sydney aren't quite opposite each other on the globe, being only about 150 degrees apart, so at 9 AM in Sydney, it will be midnight in London.

Why does earth have day and night every 24 hours?
The Earth has day and night every 24 hours because that is the total amount of time it takes to spin on its axis. When one half faces the sun, it is day in that area of the globe, while it is night in the other half.
Why does day and night go slow and fast?
The Earth takes 24 hours to rotate 360* on its axis causing the half facing the sun to be in daylight and the half facing away from the sun to be in night and as the planet rotates day and night changes. This effect is different depending on which season you are in and where you are located on the Earth.The earth rotates one full rotation every day. When the earth is rotated such that a certain place faces the sun, it is day there. But the earth continues to rotate until this place faces away from the sun. It is then night there.
