"Early evenings" refers to the time period typically between 5 PM and 8 PM when the day is slowly winding down. There are several synonyms that can be used to describe this time of day, such as "late afternoon," "dusk," "twilight," "sunset," and "early night." Late afternoon refers to the latter part of the afternoon, whereas dusk is the time of day when the sun has set but there is still a bit of light remaining in the sky. Twilight, on the other hand, is the period of the day when the sun is below the horizon and the sky is still light. Sunset and early night, like early evenings, refer to the transition between day and night.
