In other time zones, the night occurs at different times. This is because the Sun shines on different parts of the Earth at different times. During a solar eclipse it is also partially night because the Sun is blocked out by the Moon.
In popular culture, night is often thought of as a symbol of evil, because of the fear of the dusk, lack of being able to see what's around and criminals like doing crimes at nightfall.
