Reply to comment by ParticleDetector in You see more suns at night than in the daytime. by ParticleDetector

Ah you make a point that we have to take into account the stars the sun is physically blocking. If there are at least two stars behind the sun (and whose light is not gravitationally lensed around it), then night is back in the lead.

Unless the moon is up and also blocks two stars!

The Moon is up in the day as often as in the night.

Stars are not uniformly distributed so the number varies during the (24 hour) day in some complex pattern.
