When it is day in India why is it night in America?
The Earth is spherical. Half of it is day and the other half is night due to the Sun shining on it. As it rotates on its axis, day transitions to night, and night transitions to day, with a period of 24 hours. India is on the other side of the Earth from the US, so days and nights are reversed there versus here.
Why do you change from day time to night time every 12 hours?
It is not like that. Earth revolves around the sun and Earth is sphere and when suns rays fall on earth the half earth gets light but half did not get it. Since Earth rotates about its own axis slowly the half sides gets alternately as 12hours and 24 hours as a day. In one day 12hours get half Earth light and next 12 half night that is no light
