Imagine sunset at 6 pm and true dawn at 6 am, giving a hypothetical twelve-hour night. One third is four hours.
The first third would end at 10 pm; the final third would begin at 2 am. These are not the same period.
This example illustrates how to divide the night, not actual local prayer times, which vary by date and location.
