The term "day" applies to the duration of one rotation of the planet on its own axis. The Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours. The rotational motion is attributed to the intrinsic angular momentum of the body, acquired during its formation.
By contrast, a year would be the duration of one orbit of the planet around the Sun.

Why can you see planets and stars on a night?
The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
