Explain why while trying to see an object clearly at night, it is best not to look directly at it, but rather slightly to one side.

• when looking directly at an object, light falls at the fovea, that contain cones only that are less sensitive to light.
• At night, light intensity would be too low to activate the cone.
• looking at object slightly to one side, light fall on the rods that are more sensitive to dim light due to retinal convergence.
