Not necessarily. The night is dark, because the sun sets. The sun literally passes to the other side of the planet. (More correctly, the Earth rotates, causing the perceived position of the Sun to go to the other side.) Also, thick clouds can block starlight and moonlight from reaching the Earth, with the effect that they can cause the night to appear dark.

Not necessarily. The night is dark, because the sun sets. The sun literally passes to the other side of the world-the opposite continent. When the sun rises, the sky becomes light again. The moon comes out at night.
