This is a very common question.

Facebook has 500 million odd users. That takes a lot of web servers to let that many folks connect. These servers need to be worked on occasionally.

Odds are you just are in a service area where they are doing server upgrades or maintenace on either the web servers or databases. This type of work can take hours and hours.

In most cases they should have a message stating the reason things are down. Facebook doesn't seem to do this. Wait a few hours and try again. Assuming that other web sites still work OK the issue will be with Facebook and should be eventually corrected.
