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.
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.
Sunlight is always shining on one half of the Earth as the planet rotates on its axis, causing day and night. This rotation creates a cycle of 24 hours with half of the globe facing the sun ("day side") and the other half facing away from it ("night side").
The question as asked is meaningless. Perhaps you mean "Where is half the Earth when it is facing away from the Sun?" In that case the answer would be "in darkness or, as we like to call it, night"
Approximately half of the Earth is in daylight at any given time due to its rotation on its axis, with one side facing the Sun (daytime) and the other side facing away (nighttime). This is why we experience day and night cycles throughout the day.
The Antarctic experiences half a year of continuous daylight and half a year of continuous darkness due to its location near the South Pole. This phenomenon is known as polar day and polar night, and it occurs because of the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun.
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.
Half and half
Darkness. Night time
Half the Earth is light, the other half is dark. Anywhere on the dark half experiences night.
Simple, as the sun is in one direction, only half of the earth can see the sun but as the earth rotates on its axis, this half keeps moving and you get day and night
because earth spins on its,axis half on the years.it dark for 1hal
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
That's right. The Earth spins once a day, so presents half the earth towards the Sun, and the other half is in darkness.
