evening means afternoon period. It is an adjective commonly used to designate an event that takes place in the afternoon. For example a course, a newspaper or an afternoon meeting.
School shifts are usually divided into morning (morning period), afternoon (afternoon period) or night (evening period). Evening is the intermediate period between morning and night. If there is no time determination, it can be defined as the period that starts after lunch and ends at nightfall.
Evening is the designation given to a newspaper that is published or distributed in the afternoon. The antonym of afternoon is morning, and this last word refers to the morning period.
evening star
The planet Venus, being visible to the naked eye at certain times of the day, was mistaken by older people for a star. This supposed star served as an orientation, as it appeared in the sky just before sunrise (dawn) or at the end of the day, right after sunset. For this reason, the planet Venus is known as Estrela d'Alva (morning star or morning star), Vesper (evening star or evening star) or even as Shepherd's Star.
