Can children see in the dark better than adults?

The answer is: yes

Children's eyes are more sensitive to light than adult eyes. This is because the lens in a child's eye is clearer, and the pupil is larger. This allows more light to reach the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. As children grow older, the lens becomes less clear and the pupil becomes smaller, which reduces the amount of light that reaches the retina. This is why adults need more light to see well at night than children do.
