I'm named after nothing, though I'm awfully important, And when I go missing, your house is a lot less clean. What am I?

Question

I'm something. I'm nothing.
I am short. I am tall.
When you fall at your sport, then I stumble and fall.
I have never been seen beneath a new moon.
I thrive in the evening but vanish at noon.
I am lighter than air, I weigh less than a breath;
darkness destroys me, and light is my death.
What am i?
