That completely depends on where you are, specifically, your latitude.
-- In the 'Tropics' (within 23.5° of the Equator), there are two equal longest nights of
the year, but they never get any longer than about 13 hours 20 minutes.
-- Outside the Tropics, the farther you are from the Equator, the longer your longest night
is. (And also, the longer your longest day is.)
-- Between the Tropics and the Arctic or Antarctic Circle (latitudes between 23.5° and 67.5°),
the length of the longest night ranges from 13 hours 20 minutes to 24 hours.
-- Between the Circles and the Poles, the longest period between sunset and sunrise is
between 24 hours and nearly 6 months. At the north and south poles, it's nearly 6 months.
