On the first day, God created the universe in general, light, and this Earth. The light was not the same as that of the sun. Rather, it was light that God created before the sun, and which emanated from a point in space without any physical source; like what we might term a "white hole." Background: Day by day, God created the universe and everything in it (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30). Nachmanides on Gen. 1:1 states emphatically that this is a fundamental tradition.Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b. On day 2: God created the separation between the Earth and the upper atmosphere. On day 3: God separated the continents from the oceans, and created plants. On day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars. On day 5: God created birds and fish. On day 6: God created animals and people. On day 7: God ceased creating, thereby creating the concept of rest.

Did God create Day or Night first?
In the beginning of the bible God says "Let there be light", but it doesnt say that he created dark. There was nothing at first, so we may assume that it was dark. So the answer, i think is Day. Answer 2Scientifically speaking, Day and Night are caused by the rotation of the Earth where every 24 hours the Earth will revolve 360 degrees. The Earth is separated into 24 parts known as hours, and these parts are used as to determine what part of the day it is. So we see that the place that the Sun is hitting the Earth is the Day and the other side is the night. Now religiously speaking, God says "Let there be light" in the world of darkness. Thus we can base our answer off of 2 assumptions. 1. The world was never bright until God made it so 2. God made darkness first. Science speaks for itself, but if we are talking about religion as this topic is fielded under, then my two points as stated above will provide the possible choices
How was there light on the first day of God's creation when the sun and moon were created on the fourth day?
God made physical light energy to exist before there were any actual 'light givers' such as the sun, moon, (reflected of course) stars, etc. This is seen by some to emphasize the fact that light energy is more fundamental than the existence of any 'light giver'. It would thus make no difference to God whether He created waves of light energy or actual physical bodies that emitted light. This of course He did later as noted in the question. Some have also pointed out that God Himself is referred to as 'light' and the book of Revelation notes that God Himself is to be the source of light at the end of time when the world and universe as we currently know them cease to exist. This seen in one sense as re-creation, or return to an original condition of perfection, so it may give us a clue as to what happened originally.
