No. The Sun is simply facing the other side of the Earth at nighttime.
When earth is directly between the sun and moon, it is a lunar eclipse.when moon is directly between earth and passes across the sun, it is a solar eclipse.
The Sun's rays strike least directly at the poles.
The rays of the Sun fall more directly on the equator because the Sun shines more on the center of the Earth.

The sun's rays are always directly overhead somewhere on earth. Twice a year,at the moment of each equinox, that place is somewhere on the equator.
All of the Sun shines. Or at least the outside, if that's what you mean.
For you, day occurs when the earth turns you in a direction where the sun can shine directly on you. Night occurs when the earth turns you in a direction where the sun can't shine on you, because part of the earth is in the way.For someone else in a different place, day and night may happen at different times from your day and night.
the equator
It is a reflection of the sun.
