@Noborio: "As it was getting dark, we turned back" is telling something you did while "Because it was getting dark, we turned back." is giving you a reason along with the action.

@Destiny97: I see.
But what I wanna ask you is that "as" has a lot of meaning,so how can I recognise when "as"means because.

"As" kind of implies a natural connection. For this reason, we can't use "as it was dark" by itself. It has to be tied to something.
"Because" is more explanatory and can stand by itself as a reason. "Why did you go home?" "Because it was dark."
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
That said, it's a little bit informal to use "because" by itself, especially in writing.
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
In your sentence, it could be interpreted both ways, but either way, the same information is conveyed/implied. By default "as" is not usually interpreted as "because" though, and is only interpreted this way when it's the only way that makes sense.
