What is what does dusk mean?

Dusk refers to the time of day just after sunset and before it becomes completely dark. It is a transitional period when the sky gradually turns from blue to orange and eventually to an almost complete darkness. During dusk, the light becomes dimmer, making it more difficult to see. This is why outdoor activities may be difficult without proper lighting. Dusk is also sometimes referred to as twilight or evening civil twilight. It is a time when many animals become active, especially nocturnal ones that come out to hunt for prey.
