Times of the day

Afternoon is the time of day after midday or noon. Since people usually have lunch in the middle of the day, afternoon can be seen to be the time of day between lunch and dinner.

Breakfast is the first meal of the day. You can have all sorts of different things for breakfast. Many people have cereal with milk or toast with jam or honey. Some people prefer a cooked breakfast with bacon and eggs. Other people might like waffles or pancakes.
And some people like a breakfast with almost everything, like in the picture.

Dawn is the name given to the time of low light around sunrise.

Dinner is the meal you eat at the end of the day, usually at around 5 or 6 o'clock. Dinner can be anything, but is usually some kind of meat and some vegetables.

lan Evening is the part of the day after afternoon and before night. It is often around dinner time.

Midday is another word for noon, the time of day when the sun is at its highest point in the sky.

Morning is the time of day after the sun comes up but before midday or noon.

Noon, or midday, is the middle of the day, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky and shadows are at their shortest. With modern clocks noon is at exactly 12 o'clock. The opposite of midday is midnight.

Sunset is the time of day when the sun goes down below the horizon. The sky goes from dark to coloured with lots of shades of pink and orange and red and then to deep purple before the sun goes completely below the horizon and it is night time.

The time just after sunset before it gets completely dark is called dusk. The opposite of sunset is sunrise.
