I believe it is because the Earth is a revolving sphere. And the Sun is a light emitting star, approximately 150.000km distant from the Earth. As the Earth revolves, the area facing away from the Sun goes dark.
The same reason one end of my street is dark, and the other is lit up with street lights. The sun is never below my feet, it is just far away.

@Erfisflat Then how come when I'm on the dark end of the street, I can still see the street lights? I can see the street light no matter where I am on the street. This would mean I can see the Sun during night, even though it is dark.

Sarcasm and insult. Make for a very weak argument. When debating try and offer a rational and logical response. All your flat Earth arguments are falling short in logic and rationale.
It's common knowledge that there is atmosphere that blocks light.

Certainly atmospheric conditions can have an impact on light intensity, at any time of the day. But this falls short of explaining why it goes dark at night. Variable atmospheric conditions also fail to explain seasonal changes in day length, especially in polar regions.
Perhaps you could elaborate on this theory, so that I can get a clearer understanding of what you are trying to say.
"Certainly atmospheric conditions can have an impact on light intensity, at any time of the day. But this falls short of explaining why it goes dark at night."
I fail to understand why you are making this statement. If you took a 75 watt light bulb to a football field you wouldnt be able to light up the whole field. This is not exactly to scale of corse, but you get the idea. Add to that hundreds or thousands (depending on the altitude of the sun) of miles of atmosphere (clpuds, dust, smog, water, heat, fog, etc.), and you have a means of blocking light. This is one of the reasons we can't see clear across the Atlantic Ocean.
The mountains in the distance are not hidden by curvature, they are just hidden by an accumulation of particles of matter in the air. This indubitably causes it to go dark at night.
On a similar matter, if you're talking about sunsets, that is a combination of refraction and perspective, I can explain that again if I need to, but both subjects have been covered extensively. They were likely covered in the first few pages, but if you can't find them, I'll go over them again.
"Variable atmospheric conditions also fail to explain seasonal changes in day length, especially in polar regions "
This is due to a different circuit of the circuit around the pole. In our summer, the sun is closer to the center, causing the arctic midnight sun, where the sun doesn't go down in the northern polar region. It's included in the Gleason' s map.
The evidence for this is the sun analemma.
Which contradicts the globe model, but fits perfectly in FET.

Erfisflat Your map does not match a globe. If you would go to a place in the southern hemisphere and measured the length if it did not match your model your model would be disprove. Unless you are so confident you don't feel the need to. Of course I would have to do the same and I am planing to when I get older then 18.
It is never dark here on Earth. The sun and stars give us light. When it is night, the moon reflects the light of the sun and the stars also give us a bit of light.

Nice sunrise, commentary. Of course the sun won't light up the entire horizon as the earth rotates into view of it; the sun is round. If the earth was flat, the sun wouldn't set at all.

You didn't finish the video obviously. It DEMONSTRATED how the sun can go down on a flat earth. @CYDdharta

No, it really doesn't. it just says "refraction", but that doesn't explain how the sun can drop below the horizon of a flat earth using the model that's been reposted so many by flat-earthers here;
Then again, we can see the moon during the daytime, so we know this model isn't accurate. Find a model that is actually accurate, and we'll discuss it.

Wait, you sure you watched the video? It doesn't just say refraction. Try again.
And seeing the moon during the day works in the flat earth model too. Maybe you don't fully understand the model.

At 8:34 in the video, we can see with practical experimentation how the sun can go down over the horizon on a flat earth. @CYDdharta seems to have turned a blind eye, but those of us who haven't strapped on our blinders can see. Mainstream science claims the same effect happens on a ball earth, but they claim it causes the sun to appear higher in the sky, which is pseudoscientific unless they can support the claim with practical experimentation.

So you still haven't found an accurate working flat-earth model. The fact that none exists would explain that quite well.
So you still haven't explained any flaw in it. Keep digging. You've conceded everything else.

Very pretty. But illogical.
As your sun has nothing to hide behind there would always be residual light, no matter how far away the light source was.

Sarcasm and insult. Make for a very weak argument.
When debating try and offer a rational and logical response.

I was addressing the argument:
"As your sun has nothing to hide behind"
It's common knowledge that there is atmosphere that blocks light.

Certainly atmospheric conditions can have an impact on light intensity, at any time of the day.
But this falls short of explaining why it goes dark at night.
Variable atmospheric conditions also fail to explain seasonal changes in day length, especially in polar regions.
Perhaps you could elaborate on this theory, so that I can get a clearer understanding of what you are trying to say.

"Certainly atmospheric conditions can have an impact on light intensity, at any time of the day.
But this falls short of explaining why it goes dark at night."
I fail to understand why you are making this statement. If you took a 75 watt light bulb to a football field you wouldnt be able to light up the whole field. This is not exactly to scale of corse, but you get the idea. Add to that hundreds or thousands (depending on the altitude of the sun) of miles of atmosphere (clpuds, dust, smog, water, heat, fog, etc.), and you have a means of blocking light. This is one of the reasons we can't see clear across the Atlantic Ocean.
The mountains in the distance are not hidden by curvature, they are just hidden by an accumulation of particles of matter in the air. This indubitably causes it to go dark at night.
On a similar matter, if you're talking about sunsets, that is a combination of refraction and perspective, I can explain that again if I need to, but both subjects have been covered extensively. They were likely covered in the first few pages, but if you can't find them, I'll go over them again.
"Variable atmospheric conditions also fail to explain seasonal changes in day length, especially in polar regions "
This is due to a different circuit of the circuit around the pole. In our summer, the sun is closer to the center, causing the arctic midnight sun, where the sun doesn't go down in the northern polar region. It's included in the Gleason' s map.
The evidence for this is the sun analemma.
Which contradicts the globe model, but fits perfectly in FET.

Then again, we can see the moon during the daytime, so we know this model isn't accurate. Find a model that is actually accurate, and we'll discuss it.

And seeing the moon during the day works in the flat earth model too. Maybe you don't fully understand the model.
