Worldbuilding Wednesdays - Night

What's night time like on your world? How long is it? Is it dangerous? Are there any ramifications to night time (e.g., dew, a nocturnal ecosystem, chance to navigate using stars)? Not all night skies are alike: in the real world, it doesn't get truly dark over cities because of light pollution. The Stone trilogy by Graham Edwards, the sky on Amara is starless.

Being tidally locked to it's parent planet of Zediu, part of Cantūn experiences twilight for a brief portion of every day, which can last from seconds to hours, as it passes behind the planet. During this time, the moon is described as being "under Zediu's (Mother's) tail", and was believed in ancient times to be the Mother, Zediu, shielding her children from the wrathful bouts of Zedith (their sun), the Father. While the belief has largely subsided, the terminology stuck, and many who dwell in the twilight regions of the moon turn off lights just as at night.
