Evening facts for kids
Evening is a special time of day when the daylight starts to fade away. It's the period between late afternoon and the start of night. Think of it as the time when the sun is setting and the sky gets darker.
What is Evening?
Evening usually begins around 6:00 PM (18:00) and lasts until midnight (23:59). It's a time of transition. The bright light of the day slowly disappears, and the stars and moon begin to appear in the sky. This change happens every single day, all around the world.
The Changing Sky
During the evening, the sky often puts on a beautiful show. As the sun goes down, you might see amazing colors like orange, pink, and purple. This is called a sunset. After the sun has completely set, the sky becomes darker, and you can start to see the first stars twinkling. This gradual change from light to dark is a key part of the evening.
Evening Activities
Many people have different routines during the evening. It's often a time for families to gather for dinner. After dinner, some people might do their homework, read a book, or relax by watching television. It's also a popular time for friends to meet up or for people to enjoy quiet hobbies before bedtime. For many, evening is a chance to wind down after a busy day.
