At what time does afternoon become night?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351597) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Mar

The photo shows the clock that is in the bedroom at our house-sit. The figures are large and it’s easily read at night and without my glasses. As you can see, it gives the day, date and year as well as the time. You might also...
