    Walking my kid home from school down unlit footpaths with a torch, taking video of him manically pretending to do a ghost tour is only possible in winter.

            Alright well still if we want to push into the technicalities, for some periods of the year the sun will set however it will never be dark just due to the indirect illumination. So it would be night but still light.

              Do they call it night? If so, it’s night. That is indeed how words work. In America, we’d call that twilight and not night. I’d say things like, “Man, I miss having nighttime”. It would have to be at least dusk to be called night.
