Afternoon is the period between noon and early evening. The precise time at which it ends is subjective but often understood to be the time at which daylight begins to fade.
The term lacks a clear definition because it was in use long before precise timepieces became widespread. Hence, words and phrases that refer to general periods in the day were more practical.
The term should not be confused with the phrase "after noon", which is a translation of the Latin "post meridiem" (p.m.) as used in the 12-hour clock, meaning a time of day between noon and midnight.
In Australia and New Zealand, the word "arvo" is a slang term for afternoon.

Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno (born 15 May 1948), commonly known as Brian Eno or simply as Eno ( /ˈiːnoʊ/[citation needed]), is an English musician, composer, record producer, singer, and visual artist, known as one of the principal innovators of ambient music.
Eno studied at Colchester Institute art school in Essex, England, taking inspiration from minimalist painting. During his time on the art course at the Institute, he also gained experience in playing and making music through teaching sessions held in the adjacent music school.
He joined the band Roxy Music as keyboard and synthesiser player in the early 1970s. Roxy Music's success in the glam rock scene came quickly, but Eno soon tired of touring and of conflicts with lead singer Bryan Ferry.
Eno's solo music has explored more experimental musical styles and ambient music. It has also been extremely influential, pioneering ambient and generative music, innovating production techniques, and emphasising "theory over practice". He also introduced the concept of chance music to popular audiences, partially through collaborations with other musicians.
