Just a couple of immediate Google finds -- check the titles.. They look legit to me.
That said, I would personally use "until night time" or "until nightfall".

Interestingly, from morning until night sounds perfectly fine to my ear. To ____ until night just sounds funny to me though. Perhaps a more natural translation in English should use supporting words?!?!?
I would disagree with you. E.g. "I will stay here tonight" will generally imply that you are not going to leave until the following morning. "I will stay here until night", however unidiomatic, will convey the meaning that you will actually leave after the nightfall. If you want to be both precise and idiomatic, you can say "I will stay here late tonight" or "I will stay here until late tonight", or something along those lines, but just "tonight" conveys the wrong message.

Agreed, but normally you would say 'I will stay here until night time' or 'until it gets dark' rather than 'until night'.

I read that as 'Excuse me, are you here until night' but the actual answer has the word staying in it. I dont see the russian word for staying in that sentence. Is there one?

I've never found the words до and ночи before, how can i know their sounds and their meaning? I'm a beginner
You can hover over the words with your mouse to get a hint. The words should show in yellow when you see them for the first time. A recording of the sentence is or used to be played automatically, and you can click the speaker button to hear it again. This is how it works in the website version, apologies if you're using an app.
When all else fails: Yandex translate

And how can I hover over the words if it was a listening exercise? And how can I recognize that word if I've never heard that?
Oh, it was a listening exercise? I don't recall them ever introducing words in listening exercises, but it's been a long time since I did the tree... I guess you've just got to try to figure out the words from the sounds. Listen several times and don't be afraid to use the snail. I suppose they do still have the snail? That doesn't seem like a great way to introduce words to me.
