'''Dusk''' is the beginning of [[darkness]] in the evening, and occurs after [[twilight]], when the sky generally remains bright and blue. Civil dusk is when the [[earth]] has rotated enough that the center of the [[sun]] is at 6° below the local [[horizon]]. This marks the end of the ''evening'' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight#Civil_twilight civil twilight], the point where artificial [[illumination]] is required to [[read]] outside. It can be [[confused]] with sunset, which is the point at which the earth has rotated enough, that the sun is no longer [[visible]] from the local [[horizon]].

'''Evening''' is the period between the late afternoon and night when daylight is decreasing. Though the term is [[subjective]], evening is typically [[understood]] to begin before sunset and extend until nightfall, the beginning of night. Evening thus spans the period of [[twilight]], but begins before it and depending on [[definition]] may extend past its end.
