Home - Quora: "‘At’ is a preposition to do with location. It can be a location in space or time.

at = means the action takes place for the period of the time stated.

It can be at a time as referenced by a clock (9pm) or a period of time (night).

In is a preposition to do with containment. We use it with time to indicate an action that happens within a time period.

In other words:

‘At night’ IS the time period something happens

‘In the night’ CONTAINS the time period that something happens.
