In ancient times darkness was thought to descend on the world and after a long interval daylight would break through the darkness. Or, on more of an observational level, the sun appears to "fall" below the horizon, bringing on night, and to "break free" of the horizon, bringing on day.
yes! der..... it's post meridiem which is after midday!
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.
A day is 12 hoursA night is 12 hours
well... during the day the sun heats up the earth. and when night falls and its cloudy the clouds act like a blanket and keep the heat in better than if it was not cloudy at night. (Just wanted to tell that i didn't think of this someone else did.)
The formation of day and night suggests the rectilinear propagation of light because when the Earth rotates on its axis, the sunlight falls on one side of the Earth creating day, while the other side facing away from the Sun is in darkness, creating night. This implies that light travels in straight lines from the Sun to the Earth, illuminating only the side facing the Sun at any given time.
night falls but never breaks and day breaks but never fall
Night falls but doesn't break, and day breaks but doesn't fall.
Night falls, as in the expression meaning "night is approaching", but it doesn't break, as "night" is an abstract noun. And day breaks, as in the expression "daybreak", meaning the time of day during which the sun first appears. However, "day", as well, is an abstract noun and cannot literally fall.
Night falls but doesn't break, and day breaks but doesn't fall!
Night falls but never breaks, and dawn breaks but never falls.
The riddle goes like this-What falls, but does not break, and what breaks but does not fall? Night falls
Rain falls but never breaks; day breaks but never falls.
The answer to the riddle "What falls and never breaks" is "night." Nightfall refers to the time when daylight ends and darkness begins, and it happens regularly without any physical breaking.

how fast are you counting? assuming 1 penny a second, day and night, no breaks, 86,400.
Each (day + night) he moves 1 foot closer to the top.After 14 (day + night)'s, he is 14 feet closer to the top = 3 feet from the top.On the 15th day, he climbs 3 feet, reaches the top, falls out on the ground, and expires from starvation.15 days.
