What is afternoon?

Afternoon is the time of day following noon and preceding evening. It is typically considered the period from 12:00 PM (noon) to approximately 6:00 PM.

Afternoon is often associated with a decrease in energy levels compared to the morning. Many cultures have customs or traditions tied to the afternoon, such as afternoon tea in Britain.

The weather in the afternoon can vary greatly depending on the season and location, but it's often the warmest part of the day. The afternoon can also bring about unique challenges, such as dealing with post-lunch drowsiness.
