Lightens the night.

The answer they're looking for is Moon, despite the moon not being a night-specific phenomenon. Other things that lighten the night, that they aren't looking for, include stars, light pollution, lighting, love and laughter.

I was frustrated that "prime" did not work for the primes. Even the SNES version of "family feud" would accept variations on the written answer
