"Night" means that the Sun is on the other side of the planet from you.

Point your arm directly at the Sun. If your arm is pointed up or sideways, it's day. At night, your arm would be pointing DOWN - through the Earth to the other side of the world.

Because the Sun is on the other side of the Earth, at night we are actually in our own shadow!

The sun shines all the time. It has done so for billions of years, and will do so for billions more. The reason it is said to shine during the day and not the night is because the earth is turning. The fact that the earth revolves on its axis continuously is the reason we see the sun rise and set. Earth's rotation is the basis for day and night.

why wouldn't you be able to see stars during the day, stars are all around the solar system and the only reason we cant normally see stars during the day is because the sun over powers the stars because the sun is closer but some times you can still see them a bit.

They're still there, you just can't see them because the sun overpowers them.

You can also see stars during the day, during a total eclipse (when the moon passes between the earth and sun while near perigee). The reason stars are not typically visible during the day is because the nearest star (our sun) is so relatively bright it "washes out" the starlight.
