The beginnings of morning, afternoon, and evening are typically defined based on common timeframes. Though these definitions can vary slightly depending on culture or location, here are the general guidelines:
- Morning:
Morning generally begins at 6:00 AM (sunrise or just before). It’s the time from when the sun rises until around noon. It can start earlier in some places depending on when the sun rises. - Afternoon:
Afternoon starts around 12:00 PM (noon) and typically lasts until around 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM. The precise end time may vary depending on local customs or the time of year (like during daylight savings time). - Evening:
Evening usually begins at 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM, when the sun begins to set, and it lasts until around 9:00 PM or when it gets dark, though it can extend later depending on the time of year and location.
These times are flexible based on cultural norms, work hours, and seasonal changes.
