Afternoon Information

Afternoon is the time of day beginning sometime after the middle of the day (noon) and continuing on to — depending upon context — evening, sunset, or some specific time (often 5:00 pm). In some countries, a siesta may take place during the afternoon (often 1-3 p.m.).

The term should not be confused with "after noon" (two separate words), which is a translation of the Latin "post meridiem" (p.m.) as used in the 12-hour clock, meaning a time of day from noon to midnight.

In Australia and New Zealand, the word "arvo" is a slang term for afternoon.
