1. True - At night, the sun is indeed shining on the other side of the Earth. The Earth rotates on its axis, causing different parts of the planet to experience daylight and darkness.
2. True - Days and nights can have different lengths on other planets due to variations in their rotational speed, axial tilt, and orbital characteristics.
3. False - The day/night cycle is caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis, not by its revolution around the sun. The revolution causes the seasons, while rotation determines the cycle of day and night.
