The day does display the sun; defining it as the simple rotation of the earth to the direction facing the sun.
The indication that the sun does indeed become "not visible to us" at night is not explained through mysticism or fantasies -like the one's in Ancient Egyptian stories-, but actually through telling us that nothing makes the sun obvious to us but the "time" of the day.
But the night doesn’t ‘cover’ the sun. That’s just silly.

The perspective is for a man standing on earth. Not for a satellite.
