We have 12 hours of day time and 12 hours of night time. Day—is how long it takes the earth to spin all the way around so that you get a night and a day.
It takes 24 hours for the world to turn all way around, and we call it a day.
Day time is when you can see the sun from where you are and its light and heat can reach you. Night time is when the sun is on the other side of the earth from you and its light and heat don’t get you.
At any moment, half of the world is in daytime and half is in night-time.
Make sure you differentiate between electricity light and light that comes from the sun in explaining day and night.
