There is no strict agreement on what "afternoon" and "evening" mean. But generally, "afternoon" refers to the time between 12 p.m. (noon) and 6 p.m. I don't think the sun being out or not has much bearing beyond standard time changing to daylight savings time and back. Some people might prefer to say evening starts when the sun goes down. This ...
Oct 30, 2014 · The confusion comes from the fact that 'after noon' and 'afternoon', while looking looking similar, do not refer to exactly the same thing. For example, 11PM is technically 'after noon' - noon has passed. But it isn't within the time period considered to be 'afternoon' (generally ~12:00PM-5:00PM). I'm not here after noon
