There was a time when the sun never set on the British Empire, but now it does.
Many Spaniards use the same maxim to describe their Empire under King Philip II that was used by the British under Queen Victoria: "The sun never set on the Spanish/British Empire." The Spanish had colonies in 1560 all across North America, South America, and the Portuguese colony-cities (while Portugal was under Spanish rule) in Africa and Asia. This meant that it would be daytime in some place in the Spanish Empire because it would span the world.

I think what you mean is why does the sun never set on the English Empire...and it was a truthful saying that was used when the British Empire controlled more than one third of the world...the sun never set on the British Empire because they owned land all over the world and once the sun set on one part of the empire, it was rising on another...hope this helps

the exact quote that you are looking for is "the sun never sets on our kingdom" this could first be said of the Spanish Empire, who had holdings on all different parts of the globe, although the example usually giving when using this term is when it is applied to the British Empire. They had extensive holdings in North America, Africa, India, and Asia, thus, the sun never would set on the British Empire.

Although the question may seem incomplete it actually offers a phrase that identifies the empire to which it asks about. The British Empire of the 1800's and beyond that well into the 20th century was termed the "empire where the sun never set". It was the largest empire of its time.
Because it covered 25% of the world and was so widespread that the sun was always shining on some part of it.
