How can side of the earth dark and the other side be sunny?
The main thing to remember is that the Earth is a sphere. It's the same sort of shape as a basketball. The Earth blocks out the Sun so it can't light the side of Earth facing away from the Sun. A simple experiment: Take a ball and hold it to a light. The half of the ball facing the light will be lit up and the other side will be dark. Rotate the ball and different parts will now be light and dark. That's like what happens as the Earth rotates. That's why a place on Earth has day then night.
How does the UK go dark at night if it is facing the sun because it is summer?
The UK goes dark at night because the Earth rotates. During our daytime, the UK is facing the sun and it is light. The planet is slowly spinning, so the sun appears to move across the sky. In the evening, we begin to lose the light. This is because the UK is moving away from the sun. At night, we are then facing away from the sun. As it gets closer to morning, it starts to get lighter again. This process happens every day, and is how day and night work.
