I think what you mean is why does the sun never set on the English Empire...and it was a truthful saying that was used when the British Empire controlled more than one third of the world...the sun never set on the British Empire because they owned land all over the world and once the sun set on one part of the empire, it was rising on another...hope this helps

Although the question may seem incomplete it actually offers a phrase that identifies the empire to which it asks about. The British Empire of the 1800's and beyond that well into the 20th century was termed the "empire where the sun never set". It was the largest empire of its time.
