When is Twilight?

I googled it and it says ‘before sunrise and after sunset’ but I don’t understand how that makes sense because one is AM and the other is PM

Twilight is not “an official time” regarding AM or PM, it’s more of just “an amount of light”.

Specifically it’s when the Sun is longer *directly* line of sight from your eyes to the Sun (meaning it’s just below the horizon) BUT some Sunlight is still hitting the atmosphere and reflecting down to you, meaning the sky still has a glow to it.

So basically, Twilight is that time after the sun has set but the sky still has some brightness or that time as the sky begins to get brighter but the sun hasn’t actually risen yet.
