night visibility
Seeing after sunset
Night visibility is how well and how far one can see in darkness.
The term appears in weather reports, aviation, and driving contexts: Night visibility dropped to under a mile due to fog.
Factors affecting it include moonlight, artificial lighting, fog, and precipitation.
Poor night visibility creates hazardous conditions for pilots and drivers.
