Best Answer

With their wings, if they can fly during the day there is no reason they cannot fly at night.

However, if you mean why can they fly in the dark without hitting things, it is because they use sonar to navigate.
The bat sends out a call and then listens for the echo, from the time between when it sent out the call to when the echo arrives it can work out how far away things are and so avoid them.

Bats are not actually blind! Bats can actually see very well and at night they use echolocation. This process enables bats to emit sounds from their mouths that bounce off objects and allow them to avoid the objects when flying.

A bat's biggest problem is seeing during the day

Bats are nocturnal animals, which means they are active during the night and sleep during the day. They also tend to live in very dark places.

Echolocation can be used without light, so bats use it to help them fly inplaces where they can't see.
