"Night" means that the Sun is on the other side of the planet from you.

Point your arm directly at the Sun. If your arm is pointed up or sideways, it's day. At night, your arm would be pointing DOWN - through the Earth to the other side of the world.

Because the Sun is on the other side of the Earth, at night we are actually in our own shadow!
