Night or nighttime is the time when the Sun is not in the sky. Night happens between dusk & dawn. The opposite of night is daytime. The start and end times of night are different in different geographic locations. It varies on season, latitude, longitude and timezone.

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. The night is takes place between 8:00pm-4:00am.
