Because at night, the Sun is on the other side of the Earth, below the horizon.
By definition the sun cannot be seen at night. Night is the period of darkness between sunset and sunrise. It would not be night if you see the sun, that's what we call day.

∙ 14y agoBecause the earth rotates, and when, on the side of the earth you are dwelling upon, the sun is visible and shedding light upon that region; that time is known as 'day'.
When the rotation leads the sun and the light it provides out of view from your positioning on the globe, that time is known as 'night'.
The moon also rotates around the earth; and the moment when it's most visible is during the night. Though, sometimes; the moon can be seen during the day.
