Ways to tell them apart:
- Evening typically refers to the time from when the sun begins to set until just before complete darkness, during which people may be finishing work or having dinner.
- Night comes after evening and refers to the period when it is completely dark outside, usually associated with sleeping or nighttime activities.
- In most informal contexts, evening is used to refer to the early part of the night, while night is used for the later part.
- Think of evening as the transition from day to night, while night is the time when the day is over and it is dark.
- Night can also be used to refer to nighttime events, like a party that lasts a long time or the general concept of darkness or sleep.
