It is day time on the part that the sun is shining on, while night on the other part. Being more precise, it is different stages of the day on the bright areas. Where the division between the light and dark parts are, it is morning or evening, and on other parts it is different stages of the day. It is the same on the dark side, being different stages of the night, from just after sunset to just before sunrise.

When does day and night happen?
Because the part of the Earth you are on is not facing the Sun at that time. The earth is continuously rotating, so at any time, part of the Earth is facing the Sun and part is facing away from it.
