Obviously, there is no sunlight energy for light dependent reactions to occur while calvin cycle AKA light independent phase does not require light as it uses energy in the form of ATP and the NADPH to form sugars

calvin cycle can work during day and night because calvin cycle works inside part of the leaf (the chloroplast), it can work without the help of the sunlight compared to light reaction. calvin cycle or known as dark reaction are not part of the light-trapping process. the use of the term dark does not mean that the dark reaction necessarily take place in the dark or night it means simply that this reaction may proceed without light as a requirement.

light reaction can only occur during daylight because do utilized light energy.

Because no light means no photosynthesis, which produces ATP & NADPH. Yet when there is no photosynthesis there is no ATP & NADPH, which is used to reduce the CO2 to a carbohydrate in the Calvin Cycle.

Calvin cycl(C3)or biosynthetic phase occurs during day and night as it does not depend directly on light but depend upon the products of light reaction i.e OXYGEN(splitting of water),ATP,NADPH where as light reaction(splitting of watet,phosphorylation )occurs in presence of light i.e during day time.

The Calvin cycle doesn't work at night because there is no light ATP mason and the stomata's are closed not allowing enough carbon dioxide to enter
