the sky at night

Does this expression make sense?
The answer of this question of translating was 'the night sky', but I wonder whether this can still make sense.

Yes. "the sky at night" also makes sense, but it depends on context whether it actually fits the sentence naturally.

Thank you for answering!
The full sentence is this :
・Artificial light makes the night sky more than ten times as bright as it would be under natural conditions.

You could possibly replace it with "the sky at night" in this sentence.

I think "the night sky" makes the sentence flow better, though.
