In this quotation from Act III Scene 5, 'night's candles' are the stars which are 'burned out' because they can no longer be seen. This is because it is almost dawn and there is too much ambient light because "jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops".

What are nights candles as described in Romeo and Juliet?

Romeo says. "Night's candles are burnt out and jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountain top." It's morning, but Shakespeare has Romeo say it in a much cooler way. In the morning as the sky lightens you can no longer see the stars which lit the night sky. Like burnt-out candles, they no longer give light.
