Dative or accusative?
At night, you can see the stars. ("Night" is in the dative case.)
Is there a reason why I have to use the third case (dative) here?

The reason is that the preposition "in" here demands the tripod.
– in the week
– at night
In addition, the question "when" is always answered in the dative.
The question "when" can also be answered in the battery: see:
https://mein-deutschbuch.de/temporale-praeposition.html (when = at how much time)
So if I write the time after the preposition "In", I always use the tripod or? Are there exceptions?
If it answers the question "Where" or "When", then it takes the tripod. In some cases with "if " you can write this with the battery.
Actually, it's about time. That's why you should use the dative (third case) for this sentence.
Hello,
the reason is that the temporal prepositions on, in, in, in, after, before, between, from/off demand the dative.
