Evening is the period of a day that begins at the end of afternoon and overlaps with the beginning of night.[1][2][3] It starts when the sun is close to the horizon and overlaps both twilight and night. The exact times when evening begins and ends are subjective and depend on location and time of year. It may be used colloquially to include the last waning daytime shortly before sunset.[4]
