Ways to tell them apart:
- "Night" usually refers to the time period when it's completely dark, generally after midnight until dawn.
- "Evening" typically describes the transition period from late afternoon to just before night starts, usually when the sun sets and it's getting dark, but not completely.
- If you can see the sun setting or the sky changing colors, it's likely evening, not night.
- Night is often associated with bedtime or sleep, while evening might still involve active social events or dining.
- Evenings are often perceived as winding down time, whereas nights are truly rest periods.
