The UK goes dark at night because the Earth rotates. During our daytime, the UK is facing the sun and it is light. The planet is slowly spinning, so the sun appears to move across the sky. In the evening, we begin to lose the light. This is because the UK is moving away from the sun. At night, we are then facing away from the sun. As it gets closer to morning, it starts to get lighter again.

This process happens every day, and is how day and night work.

As the Earth continues to rotate, parts that were facing the Sun are soon facing away from it and the parts facing away from it are now facing it, so everywhere gets day and night.
