There's only one source of light that's strong enough and close enough to really light up the surface of the Earth and that's the Sun. And with only one light source, you can't have light on both sides of an object at the same time.

When there's a full moon and clear skies, the moon will reflect light from the sun onto the otherwise dark side of the Earth, but that reflected light will be a lot weaker than the direct sunlight that the day side is getting.

Who made darkness?

Read the book of Genesis, 1:1-5God created the Darkness.I don't think so.Doesn't it say that he 'separated the light from the darkness' which implies that darkness was already there?That may be true, But God created EVERYTHING. Light, Darkness, Bad and good.Good point but does darkness really count as a thing to be created?Gen 1:1-5 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth 2The earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. 3And God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light. 4And God saw that the light was good: and God separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.Sorry to quote so much but it seems to me that the passage states that God created the heavens, the earth and light but it does not state the origins of the darkness.

What is the velocity of darkness?

It doesn't have a velocity! However, in theory, one could say that darkness is the only thing that replaces light!! So as light goes away, darkness takes its place!! So darkness probably travels at the speed of light :D - 186000 miles per second (that's about 7.5 times round the earth in a second)
