because sometimes your facing space which is complete black and sometimes your facing the sun which brights up your side of the world
The line that separates the light and dark portions on Earth is called the terminator line. On the Moon, this line is known as the lunar terminator or dusk line. It is where sunlight transitions into darkness as a result of the rotation of the Earth and the Moon.
It is dark in one country and light in another due to the rotation of the Earth. The side of the Earth facing away from the Sun experiences night, while the side facing the Sun experiences daylight. This rotation creates the cycle of day and night around the globe.
The side in which the moon has least light. ------------------- I believe the phrase typically refers to the far side of the moon, as the "dark side" is not one fixed location. As it moves, the plane of light moves across it just like on earth. The moon is in a state of synchronous rotation with the earth, with both one revolution and one rotation taking the same amount of time; 1 month. As such, the same side of the moon is always facing earth. The side that faces away is the far side, often referred to incorrectly as the dark side.
In some places near the north and south poles, it does. The Earth has a light side facing the Sun, and a dark half. At most places the Earth's rotation takes them into the dark side every evening and the Sun disappears until the morning.
The speed of light is constant and does not directly affect the length of the day. The length of a day is determined by the time it takes for the Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis, which is approximately 24 hours. This rotation period is independent of the speed of light.
If rotation did not happen one side the earth would stay cold. It would also always be dark outside.

The Moon has a dark and light side due to synchronous rotation, which means its rotation period is the same as its orbital period around the Earth. This causes one side to always face the Earth, known as the near side, and the other side, the far side, to remain hidden. The varying brightness on each side is due to differences in surface features and composition.
The Earth orbits the sun whilst it is spinning on it's axis, so one part of the Earth is light (facing the sun), whilst the other part is dark (not facing the sun.)
Because energy rich compounds needed in dark reaction are produced during light reactions.
