How do the Sun's position in the sky and the length of daylight relate to the seasons of the year?
The amount of daylight is determined by the Earth's closeness to the sun, and which part of the Earth is facing the sun. The Earth orbits the sun in an oval, so when the Earth is closer to the sun there is more daylight. It also rotates on its axis, so all faces of the Earth get sunlight when they face the sun.
Can people only see the part of the moon where the sun is shining on it?
This is essentially correct. When part of the moon is in darkness, we can't see it. Additionally, the same side of the moon faces earth all the time as our satellite is locked in its orbit to constantly face earth. We only see the portion of the moon that is both illuminated by the sun and facing the earth.
Is there a part of earth that experiences only daylight or only darkness during the year?
No, it is not possible, as only one side of the earth faces the sun at a time. Also it would be weird for it to be daylight at like 1,2,3,4 a.m. because there are differrent time zones. There are, however places on the earth where it it light for 6 months and then dark for 6 months, like greenland.
Why does you have day and night?
because the earth is aways rotating and when it faces the sun it is day and when it faces away from the sun it is night.
The Moon's near side always faces earth due to what?
The moon's near side always faces earth because of the definition of the word "near". If it didn't always face earth, it wouldn't be known as the "near side".

When earth faces away from the sun that side has?
As earth rotates the part that is facing the sun has day light.

Does the moon have day and night if so why?
Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night). During a new moon, the opposite is true. The side of the moon that faces the earth is in shadow (night) and the side that faces away from the earth is exposed to the sun (day).
How does the movement of the earth create day and night?
Because the Earth is a spinning ball and one side faces the sun and the other side is in its own shadow facing away form the sun. Therefore as the Earth spins a point on its surface spends some time facing the sun in the daylight and some time in the shadow area when there is no daylight.

Is it night time in ALL parts of the world in th SAME time?
No. Day and night is determined by what part of Earth is facing the sun. Half of the Earth faces toward the sun and half of earth faces away from the sun. As the Earth spins on it's axis, we get daylight in one side of the earth, and night time in the other side of the earth. It is never possible to have night time, or day time, on all the earth at the exact same time.

When earth is facing the sun?
The Earth ALWAYS faces the Sun. However, the Earth rotates. So one half of the Earth is in sunlight (Day time) and the other half of the Earth is in darkness (night time). We always face the Sun, because we , the Earth, is held there in its orbit about the Sun , because of Sun/Earth gravity.
