All the Sun's planets rotate on their axes and none are tidally locked, so there is no one side of any planet that always faces the sun (like the Moon does the Earth). Or, if this is a 'trick question' (of concept) - The Daytime side.

∙ 12y agoThis is called a "tidal lock." This is the situation on the moon, where the dark side is constantly facing away from us.
First, one side of the Earth would become very, very warm. The other would become very, very cold. There would be a very disturbed zone around the dividing line where cold and warm air would meet, and possibly standing storms at these points.
Second, most of the life in these regions would die off. At least, most of the life on the surface. Some of the underwater life might survive. Eventually, new forms of life that are capable of taking 24 hr sun and heat would arise, and populate the sunny side. Very different forms of life might populate the night side.
Seasons would be altered. So would the day/night cycle. Most plants and animals on Earth are adapted to the day/night rhythm, and changing temperatures, and would either die quickly, or become dependent on massive amounts of heat and light available 24/7.
Humans might survive, but they would have to do so in habitats for the first few years, at a minimum. Remember, the weather is going to be thrown in to chaos for decades, and then settle down to a totally different pattern. Growing any food will be tough, even indoors. Raising animals will be difficult indoors. Humans will become a very small, very inbred population for the next few tens of thousands of years.
There would probably be a very serious impact on the planet's magnetic field, but I cannot be certain of the exact nature.

Another interesting fact is that the earth never moves in the lunar sky. It stays in the same point in the sky forever. The only thing that changes are the amount of sunlight striking the earth.

Why is the moon visible so late at night?
Because when the earth turns part of the time the earth is facing the sun and another part of the earth is facing the moon at a part of time.
How does the sun affect the seasons on earth?
In winter, the part of Earth is not facing the Sun so it makes that season we have in North America cold. In summer, that part of Earth is facing the Sun which makes it hot. Spring and Fall are seasons that nearly faces all the Sun.
When its daytime is earth facing the sun?
Yes.
When its night time is the earth facing the sun or facing away from the sun?
It is night in the hemisphere facing away from the Sun.
Why does the earth have day and night?
Earth is rotating on its axis and day and night occur as a result as the Earth spin. If the Sun is shining on a part of the Earth, they are having day time. If a part of the Earth is facing away from the Sun, there are having night time.
The period when a given part of earth is facing the sun?
what is the period when a given part of earth is facing the sun
When your part of earth is facing away from the sun it is?
? what if if its facing away from the sun it would be night if that is what u asked
When does day and night happen?
Because the part of the Earth you are on is not facing the Sun at that time. The earth is continuously rotating, so at any time, part of the Earth is facing the Sun and part is facing away from it. The part facing it is getting lots of light, so it is day time and the part facing away gets less light, so you have darkness and it is night time.

Which part of the Earth experience the day?
The side facing the sun
How do you get days and nights?
The Earth orbits the sun whilst it is spinning on it's axis, so one part of the Earth is light (facing the sun), whilst the other part is dark (not facing the sun.)
Does the part of the Earth that is facing towards the sun have day?
yes its day
Why do you have a day and night cycle?
The Reason for a cycle of day and night is all based on the rotation of the earth. During the day, the part of the earth where you are located is facing the sun, and during the night, the part of the earth where you are located is facing away from the sun.
Why does earth day and night?
Because the earth rotates, when it is day in your part of the world the earth is facing the sun. When its night it faces away from the sun.
What covers the sun at night?
Nothing covers the sun at night. It becomes dark because of the rotation of the earth and that part of the globe that is not facing the sun experiences night time. The part that is facing the sun experiences day light.
