Mars has day and night for the same reasons that Earth has day and night. Mars, like Earth, rotates on an axis. That means that the Mars is spinning like a top. As the planet spins, half of it is facing the sun, and the other half isn't. So the half that is facing the sun experiences daytime, and the other half has nighttime. The planet spins around so the the same half is facing the sun every 24.6 (almost 25) hours. This is the same way that we see night and day, except Earth spins a little faster, so we have a complete day and night every 24 hours.

A day and night on mars is 25 hours explain why there is daytime and night-time on mars?
Well kind sir, The planet mars, rather like our own earth, has a spin, does it not? This spin is perpendicular to the plane of the solar system, the plane that all of our fine planets spin around the sun on. Therefore, night on the red planet is created when it spins the observer around to the dark side, and day to the night. I hope this has been a satisfactory answer!! -Mr. Magorium.

Mars rotates about it's axis, so if you were to stay at close to one point on mars for a martian day, then for half the day you would face the sun(day), then later on when mars had rotated round, the part of mars you were on would not be facing the sun(night).
