In the US, VFR minimums in Class G airspace, 1,200 feet or less
above the surface, during the day, or at night if the airplane
is operated within 1/2 mile of the runway, are 1 statute mile
visibility and clear of clouds.

The 1 mile visibility applies at night, but during the day, there
is no visibility requirement, just clear of cloud when operating
within 1/2 mile of the runway.

Section 91.155: Basic VFR weather minimums
(2) Airplane. When the visibility is less than 3 statute miles but
not less than 1 statute mile during night hours, an airplane may be
operated clear of clouds if operated in an airport traffic pattern
within one-half mile of the runway.
