The Union Jack is the flag flown at the bow of a Royal Navy ship. The Union Flag is the flag of Great Britain.
The U.S. Flag Code states that the flag should only be displayed from sunrise to sunset, unless it is illuminated. Therefore, flying the flag at night without proper lighting is generally not considered respectful or appropriate. However, some interpretations allow for the flag to be flown at night if it is properly illuminated.
They replaced a policy on the flying of the national flag of the country with a new policy The policy has changed from flying the union flag/jack 365 days per year with a policy that only allows the flag to be flown on 18 days per year.
It is common practice for official buildings in the UK to fly the union flag. However in Scotland it is often the satire flown instead. Prime Minister Gordon Brown made the mandatory flying of the Union Flag on government buildings one of his first acts as Prime Minister, however it was not applied in Scotland for fears of fulling the growing desire for Scottish independence.

Flags flown from tall masts can be flown 24 hours if illuminated at night. Flags flying from short poles have to be lowered at sunset.
The nickname for the British flag is the Union Jack. Although it is only correctly known as this when flown on a ship.
The British Union. It is commonly referred to as the "Union Jack" but technically that name applies only when a flag of that design is flown from the jack staff at the bow of a ship. When flown on land it is called the Union Flag. When flown at sea you can be in trouble because only the Royal Navy may fly the Union Flag or Union Jack at sea. Private citizens are not allowed to do so; their yachts must fly the Red Ensign.
you can fly it whenever you want, and it is flown at half mast when someone passes away
In the UK there are two flags 1. The Union flag (sometimes referred to wrongly as the Union Jack) may be flown at half mast 2. The Royal Standard. This is the flag of the Queen (currently) it is actually the standard of the monarch and so as there is always a King or Queen it is not flown at half mast
The Union Jack is so called because it is the Union Flag flown from a jack staff of a ship. If the flag is flown anywhere else it is properly called the Union Flag. The word "Union" refers to the uniting of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to form the United Kingdom.
I cant think of a specific instance when the flag was flown upside down, but it is only done when a US position has been overrun or if there is an emergency there.A national flag flying upside down is an international sign of distress.
