Because the sun's rays hit one side of the earth at a time, so one part has daylight and the other has night.
The Equator is the imaginary line around the Earth, halfway between the poles.
The equator divides the Earth into equal halves known as the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The equator is an imaginary line that runs horizontally around the globe and is positioned exactly halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole.
The longitude of every point on Earth, from the Prime Meridian out to halfway around the world in the westerly direction is labeled "west longitude". The longitude of every point on Earth from the Prime Meridian out to halfway around the world in the easterly direction is labeled "east longitude".
Tonight at midnight, you're in the middle of the night side of the earth. The sun is behind you, the earth is between you and the sun, and it's dark. You look up in the sky and you see some stars and constellations. Six months from today, the earth has carried you halfway around its orbit, and you're on the other side of the sun. Where are those same stars now ? They're straight in the direction of the sun! And now when you go out at midnight and look at the stars, you're looking in completely the opposite direction from where you were looking six months ago. No wonder you're seeing different stars!
It is midday or noon.
It is exactly hours earlier or faster, depending on which way it is halfway.

The counting of the day begins from midnight because the earth routates around the sun.
That depends on when you start. If you start with the New Moon, halfway is the full Moon.

it takes exactly one year for the earth to travel around the sun
exactly a year
Portland, Maine is at 43 degrees, 40 minutes north latitude, 70 degrees 15 minutes west longitude. The location exactly halfway around the Earth would be 43 40 S, 109 45 E, in the Indian Ocean, about halfway between Perth, Australia and Antarctica.
The relationship is not exact.
