Evening generally starts around 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., marking the end of the afternoon and often coinciding with sunset or the end of the typical business day. The evening period usually lasts until about 8:00 to 9:00 p.m., with some interpretations extending it until around 11:00 p.m. or midnight depending on social context and lifestyle. The exact start time can vary based on location, time of year, and cultural or personal habits, but 5:00-6:00 p.m. is a widely accepted common range for the beginning of evening.
