Because it is dark at night, and there are fewer alternative sources of light, the light from a specific source such as a candle can be observed to be more bright, relative to the surroundings.

The same candle will emit the same amount of light at all times of the day or night, it is just the relative amount of light, due to lit or darkened surroundings, that changes.

No, day and night have nothing to do with it. Light travels as far - and as fast - during the day than during the night.

The speed of light is constant, for the most part. Recently, scientists have discovered however that the speed of light has been sloing down, by about four parts in one billion billion (one billion times one billion). So, theoretically, if you are comparing the speed of light tonight to the speed of light this morning, then there is a good chance light will have a different speed, although it would actually be slower instead of faster.

In conclusion, the only logical way light can move faster at night is if either:

1)There are extra hydrogen or helium atoms in the space the light is traveling through, slowing down the speed of light that passes through.

2)That particular night was earlier than the morning you were comparing it to.

Light travels at a universal constant. As such it travels the same distance regardless of it being day or night.
