I've noticed that I have terrible depth perception at night and I was wondering where your depth perception comes from, since whether I wear my glasses or not (it's a really low prescription) doesn't make a difference. Also, I was wondering if I have the same problem during the day, but just don't realize because there are so many other ways to tell distance during the day.

depth perception is made up of 2 things:
1. Your eyes move closer together as an object gets closer, and farther apart when an object gets farther away.
2. how big an object becomes as the its\your position changes
Things are less visible with less light and perceptions of the objects(which takes place in your brain) may be distorted by your brain. Your perception may differ from your sensation and if the sensation is not as strong, your perception may be farther off.

Depth perception comes from your right eye and left eye seeing SLIGHTLY different version of the same object and your brain processing this difference as depth.
At night, it is normal to see LESS depth as objects are not as visible and only the portion that is lit up is visible. Which gives your brain less information to work with.
