yes, but the earth rotates so that a new piece of the earth faces the sun day in and day out. this is what causes day and night on the planet.

Why does the sun shine on only one side of the earth at a time?
As in realestate : location, location, location.

How does rotation causes day and night?
The sun shines on the Earth while it rotates, but it can't shine on the whole entire planet at the same time, so one side is day the other side is night
Why earth has night and day?
Earth has day and nights because the sun can only shine on one part of the Earth at a time, resulting in one half of the Earth in darkness, and one half of the Earth with light. The days and nights last only 12 hours because the Earth rotates around the sun once every 24 hours. Half of the time, the sun will shine an a particular spot on the Earth, the other half of the time, the sun will not shine causing darkness.
What causes it to be day in china and night in america?
Because the sun can only shine on one side of the Earth at a time, and the Earth rotates. Meaning two places that aren't in the same position east-west won't have day and night at the same time.
Why does the moon have a day and night?
Because it is round, and the Sun can only shine on one side at a time.
Is there a place on earth that is one side day time and one side night time?
Yep. The earth is always rotating so if it is the middle of the earth, then you will see that there is.
How can it be night time one place on Earth and day time in another place at the same time?
Because as the earth turns and the sun does not we get the light from the sun as we turn and face the sun, when we keep turning we also turn away fron the light of the sun and another part of the earth faces the light, that is why when it day here its night in India or the opposite side of the earth.
Does the sun shine at night?
Yes. The sun remains in the same place. The earth rotates on its axis once in twenty-four hours. When one side of the earth is turned towards the sun it will be daylight on that side and night on the opposite side.
Why does the moon have a dark side but earth doesn't?
I may not be right but I think because the moon moves it makes a dark side on the earth so the earth does not need one. Also one side if the earth can not be dark all the time!! The. It would be might all the time!
