Because it's in line with the Earth's north and south poles, so as we sit watching from our rotating Earth its direction does not alter.
Imagine sitting on a swing as it goes round. If you look at the centre, its direction stays fixed, as the rest of your surroundings appear to rotate.

The Sun shines all the time, but only one side of the Earth can face the Sun, and this constantly changes as the Earth spins.

You can still see some of the Sun's light at night, because it is the light that is reflected by the Moon.
