1 full day.
The side of the Earth facing away from the Sun has shadow, or is called night. Depending on the latitude and season the duration is half the 24 hour diurnal cycle, on average 12 hours.
The 12-hour light cycle typically occurs during the fall and spring equinoxes when the day and night are roughly equal in length. This usually happens around late September and late March in the Northern Hemisphere.
Night and day are defined by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. During the day, the side of the Earth facing the Sun experiences daylight, while the opposite side experiences night. This cycle takes approximately 24 hours to complete.
The longest night of the year is called the Winter Solstice.However, it is worth noting that at latitudes of higher than 66.5 degrees north or south that there may be more than one day of 24-hour darkness in a year, meaning that the night of the Winter Solstice may not be the longest night of the year, just one of the longest nights of the year. Conversely, on the equator, all days and nights are exactly 12 hours each, so technically, there is no longest night on the equator.
Quarter to eleven at night on a 24-hour clock is displayed as 22:45.
Each 24-hour cycle of day and night is called a "day."
There isn't a word in English. In Norwegian it's a døgn.

The roughly 24-hour cycle that your body goes through is called the circadian rhythm. It regulates various biological processes, such as sleep-wake cycles, hormone release, and body temperature fluctuations. Disruptions to this rhythm can impact overall health and well-being.
It is called the Circadian Rhythm.

In the context of a day-night cycle, a night typically refers to the period of darkness between sunset and sunrise. Therefore, the fourth night would encompass the fourth period of darkness following the previous three nights. If each night is considered to be a full 24-hour day cycle, then the fourth night would consist of the nighttime hours of the fourth day and the subsequent daytime hours of the fifth day.
The side of the Earth facing away from the Sun has shadow, or is called night. Depending on the latitude and season the duration is half the 24 hour diurnal cycle, on average 12 hours.
The apparent size of the moon's illuminated portion is constantly shrinking during the two weeks after Full Moon, leading up to New Moon ... not only daily, but continuously, even hour by hour. This portion of the moon's cycle is called the "waning phases".
It is called the "Equinox" and occurs during the winter season.
