What is what time is late afternoon?

Late afternoon is generally considered the period of time between approximately 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. However, this is somewhat subjective and can vary depending on cultural norms, personal preference, and even the time of year (sunsets are earlier in winter). It's the time when the sun is beginning to set, and the light is transitioning from bright daylight to the softer light of dusk. It often marks a transition period between the workday and evening activities.
