What time of the day is considered as afternoon and evening?
Taking into consideration that we all know that morning and afternoon are both separated at exactly 12:00 PM and that the whole day has 24 hours (almost 24 but the difference is already accumulated every 4 years on february). If you take 24 and divide it by 3, which is Morning, Afternoon and Evening, you would get 8 hours. So each time of day lasts exactly 8 hours. Now looking at where Afternoon start and going forth from there we would get the following:


12:00 PM - 8:00 PM --> AFTERNOON

8:00 PM - 4:00 AM --> EVENING

4:00AM - 12:00PM --> MORNING


to be more precise it would be


12:00 PM - 7:59:59 PM --> AFTERNOON

8:00 PM - 3:59:59 AM --> EVENING

4:00AM - 11:59:59 AM --> MORNING


So basically you could say Good morning at 4:05 AM, Good Evening at 8:05 PM and Good Afternoon at 7:59 PM

***HI

I've been taught to categorize the 24 hours of the day as such:

EARLY MORNING --> 12:01 am - 5:59 am

MORNING --> 6:00 am - 11:59 am

NOON --> 12:00

AFTERNOON --> 12:01 pm - 5:59 pm

EVENING --> 6:00 pm - 7:59 pm

NIGHT --> 8:00 pm - 11:59 pm

MIDNIGHT --> 12:00

The rising of the sun transitions the early morning into the mid morning, the sun directly overhead announces the noon, the minute after 12;00 is the afternoon, the setting of the sun introduces the evening, and the completion thereof introduces the night.

I know during the seasons and location this all varies but it has been taught to me to be a guideline of the 24 hours of the day.

I'd like to hear the view of others, it is quite interesting.
