About half the Earth, if you define "night" as when the Sun is not above the horizon. Less, if you want the Sun to be low enough below the horizon, so that it is sufficiently dark - for example, 6 degrees or 12 degrees below the horizon.
uasually there is no place An Equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the Sun being vertically above a point on the Equator. The name is derived from the Latin aequus(equal) and nox (night), because around the Equinox, the night and day are approximately equally long. The term "Equinox" can also be used in a broader sense, me An Equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the Sun being vertically above a point on the Equator. The name is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the Equinox, the night and day are approximately equally long. The term "Equinox" can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens. The word is also used for the same event happening on other planets and in setting up a celestial coordinate system; see Equinox (celestial coordinates). At an Equinox, the Sun is at one of two opposite points on the celestial sphere where the celestial equator (i.e. declination 0) and ecliptic intersect. These points of intersection are called equinoctial points: the vernal point and the autumnal point. By extension, the term Equinox may denote an equinoctial point. An Equinox happens each year at two specific moments in time (rather than two whole days), when the centre of the Sun can be observed to be vertically above the Earth's Equator, occurring around March 20/21 and September 22/23 each year. aning the date when such a passage happens.

no it is just night time for only half at the earth at one time.Say if it was night time in this side of the earth the other side would be day.The earth rotates around the sun and the moon.If earth did not have gravaty all fourms of life would shater off into space.The moon does not rotate and it is next to earth because of earths invisable fource of gravaty.The moon makes different frases each week.The moon does that because the earth is circling it and the sun making different frases.
The day and night are of equal length on the equinox ("equal nights") on March 21 and September 21 (approximately). That's true anywhere in the world.
Also, the North Pole and South Pole each would qualify, with days and nights that are just 6 months long.
Day and night will have approximately the same length:
1) Any part of the world, at either of the equinoxes.
2) At the equator, any time of the year.

At any moment, nominally 50% of the Earth's surface is directly illuminated by the sun,
while the other 50% isn't.
But there are large regions of the Earth's surface where the sun may stay down
for periods ranging from 24 hours to six months, while other places on Earth are
experiencing 'normal' 24-hour cycles of day and night.
About one half of the Earth is in daylight and the other half is in night. (It isn't quite exactly one half, because the atmosphere of the Earth bends sunlight around the curve of the Earth just a little, so there is a little more daylight than night.

Yes. Due to the rotation of the earth.
Yes, they are the same speed.
No. Day and night is determined by what part of Earth is facing the sun. Half of the Earth faces toward the sun and half of earth faces away from the sun. As the Earth spins on it's axis, we get daylight in one side of the earth, and night time in the other side of the earth. It is never possible to have night time, or day time, on all the earth at the exact same time.
No, they are on opposite sides of the Earth. When one in in daylight, the other is on the night side of the planet.
Half the Earth is light, the other half is dark. Anywhere on the dark half experiences night.
Same place the sun is at night ... far enough around the earth that you can't see it from where you are, but all the people around on that side can.
Yes, they are the same speed.
An object on the Moon's surface weighs 16.55% as much as the same object weighs when it's on the Earth's surface. The fraction is roughly 1/6.

the Equinox.
Nothing really happens to the sun at night. Instead it is what happens to the part of the Earth where it is night. The earth is always turning, and the part that is turned away from the sun and is in shadow is called night. The sun is shining just the same in other parts of the world at the same time that you have night. See the Web Link for a simple explanation of this.
In orbit, same as it is during the day as well.
Well to answer your quenstion the reason they are not in the same place is because the earth is moving so at night it is diffrent.
No. Since the earth is constantly spinning, while at the same time, constantly orbiting the Sun, the side of the Earth facing away from the Sun, i.e. the night side, is constantly changing. As a result, stars and constellation do not appear in the same place every night.
That would be the equator.
The same as it looks now.
