Every place on Earth that's north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle
has more than 24 hours of light and more than 24 hours of dark sometime during the
year. The closer to the pole, the more longer than 24 hours they are. Right at the
north and south poles, you get six months of sun-up and six months of sun-down in
a year.

Why does the earth only get light for half the day?
The Earth is a sphere and it's just the half sphere facing the Sun that can get sunlight. So, half the Earth is always getting sunlight. But it's not the same half all the time, because the Earth rotates. Any particular place gets more hours of daylight in the summer than in the winter. It averages out, over the full year, at 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night every 24 hours. So, it's any particular place on Earth that gets light for half the day, on average.
Why do you change from day time to night time every 12 hours?
It is not like that. Earth revolves around the sun and Earth is sphere and when suns rays fall on earth the half earth gets light but half did not get it. Since Earth rotates about its own axis slowly the half sides gets alternately as 12hours and 24 hours as a day. In one day 12hours get half Earth light and next 12 half night that is no light

What is the amount of sunlight Mars receives in one Earth day?
Mars receives about half the amount of sunlight in one Earth day compared to Earth. This is because Mars is farther away from the Sun and has a longer day, lasting about 24.6 hours.
How do the days and nights occur?
Days and nights occur because of the diurnal rotation of the earth. The sun stays still, and the earth spins once a day, so for 12 hours half the earth is in sunlight.
At any one time half of the earth has sunlight?
This phenomenon occurs due to the Earth's rotation on its axis, creating day and night cycles. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are exposed to sunlight while others are in darkness. This results in approximately half of the Earth having sunlight at any given moment.

Why is half countrys of the earth is day and half of the country of the earth is night?
Because the earth spins on it's axis with a sun on one side of the earth and the moon the other side of the earth and there is an imaginary line across half of the earth and which half gets on to the sun or moon side it is night and so that means the other half is day.
Why is there day and night in the world?
We get day and light because the earth rotates on a tilted axis. That takes 24 hours for it. In that time, half of the earth's part is in sunlight and half is ind darkness (facing away from the sun). Half of the earth is in sunlight for 12 hours and the same for the part in darkness. The parts take turns so we have day and night.
