Because the earth spins on it's axis with a sun on one side of the earth and the moon the other side of the earth and there is an imaginary line across half of the earth and which half gets on to the sun or moon side it is night and so that means the other half is day.

What country on earth gets the sunlight first?

Since the sun only shines on one side of the Earth at a time, one half of the Earth is in darkness and the other half in sunlight. It is only as the sun rotates on it's axis that different areas of the Earth experience night and day. A country never gets sunlight "first", as the night and day around the Earth is constantly changing.

Is it night time in all parts of the world in the same time?

No. Day and night is determined by what part of Earth is facing the sun. Half of the Earth faces toward the sun and half of earth faces away from the sun. As the Earth spins on it's axis, we get daylight in one side of the earth, and night time in the other side of the earth. It is never possible to have night time, or day time, on all the earth at the exact same time.


Why does earth day and night?

Earth experiences day and night due to its rotation on its axis. As Earth rotates, one half of the planet faces the Sun, experiencing daylight, while the other half faces away from the Sun, experiencing darkness or night. This cycle creates the 24-hour day-night cycle we observe.


Why do you change from day time to night time every 12 hours?

It is not like that. Earth revolves around the sun and Earth is sphere and when suns rays fall on earth the half earth gets light but half did not get it. Since Earth rotates about its own axis slowly the half sides gets alternately as 12hours and 24 hours as a day. In one day 12hours get half Earth light and next 12 half night that is no light


What causes day and night vice versa?

The rotation of the Earth on its axis is what causes day and night. As the Earth rotates, half of it faces the sun (daytime) while the other half faces away from the sun (nighttime). This cycle of rotation creates the daily pattern of day and night.


Which half of the earth is the light side?

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.


Day and night does have something to do with sun earth and moon?

That's right. The Earth spins once a day, so presents half the earth towards the Sun, and the other half is in darkness.
