The side of the Earth facing away from the Sun has shadow, or is called night. Depending on the latitude and season the duration is half the 24 hour diurnal cycle, on average 12 hours.
The half of the Earth facing the sun is considered the light side, while the half facing away is in darkness. This creates day and night as the Earth rotates on its axis.
It is night in the hemisphere facing away from the Sun.
The new moon phase occurs when the moon lies between the sun and Earth, with the side facing Earth in shadow. This position causes the moon to be not visible from Earth as the illuminated side faces away.
If the Earth stopped rotating, there would be significant impacts. The side facing the Sun would become very hot while the side facing away would become very cold. This temperature difference could lead to extreme weather patterns and have disastrous consequences for life on Earth.
Yes you do, when the unlighted side of the moon faces you, the fully lit up side is facing the other direction, away from Earth.
Because that side of the earth is facing away from the sun.

Yes, as what determines whether it is day or night is if we are on the side of the Earth facing towards or away from the sun. An eclipse of the sun occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, and we may be on the side of the Earth facing away from the Sun when it occurs.
As the earth spins one side is facing toward the sun and the other side is facing away from the sun which is night time
Because the side of the Earth which you are on has rotated so that it is facing away from the Sun (into space)
Because the sun is on the same side of the earth as you are.
The side facing the sun experiences daytime, while the side facing away experiences nighttime. This is due to the earth's rotation on its axis, which causes different parts of the planet to be illuminated by the sun at different times.
It is night in the hemisphere facing away from the Sun.
The earth is never really facing away from the sun- the erath doesn't really have a 'front'. If you are talking about your side of the planet, then when it is away from the sun it is night time.
