Why did it? Well, it didn't. Otherwise, things may have played out a bit differently. It didn't receive Titanic's calls for help because its marconi operator had retired for the night. Additionally, it had stopped for the night because it was surrounded by ice. The Titanic attempted to signal it by Morse lamp, but the officer on watch did not get the message, for whatever reason.
It was later revealed that the Californian's officer was aware of the Titanic's position; that he had seen her look kind of funny in the water for a while, and then notice that she had disappeared. He made the assumption that she had steamed away. Next morning, he found out otherwise.

∙ 12y agoMany Titanic's passengers and crew members saw lights of a ship in the distance and officers even tried to signal it with their Morse lamp, but the ship never came to help.
Captain Lord, Californian's captain, claimed that his ship stopped 19 1/2 miles (31km) from Titanic's reported distress position. From that distance, it's impossible for them to see each other because of the curvature of the Earth. Titanic's crew and passengers claim it is only about 5 miles(8km) away.
Californian's wireless operator, Cyril Evans, went to bed at 11:30 after being rudely cut off by Titanic's wireless operator, Jack Phillips, so they didn't hear the SOS messages.
It is probably not possible for Californian to save Titanic's passenger because it took Californian two hours to reach Carpathia in daylight. If it had gone straight to Titanic that night, it would take longer because they need to navigate around the ice. Those in water would've frozen to death.
