Autumn Twilight

You can define twilight simply as the time of day

between daylight and darkness,

whether that's after sunset, or before sunrise.

 

Sunset is simply the point that the sun disappears over the horizon.

Twilight is the period between sunset and dusk.

During twilight there is still light in the sky. ...

Dusk is the point when the sun is at 18 degrees

below the horizon and there is no longer any sunlight in the sky. It's a time when the light from the sky appears

diffused and often pinkish.

The sun is below the horizon, but its rays are scattered

by Earth's atmosphere to create the colors of twilight.
