In low-light conditions, our eyes rely on rod cells, which are more sensitive to light than cone cells and enable us to see in dim environments. The pupils also dilate to allow more light to enter the eye. Additionally, certain adaptations, such as the production of a pigment called rhodopsin in the rods, enhance our ability to perceive shapes and movement in the dark. However, our color vision diminishes significantly in low light, as cones are less effective in these conditions.
