Final answer:

Evening is not strictly from 5:01 PM to 8 PM; it varies with geographic location and time of year, as well as cultural definitions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that 'Evening is from 5:01 PM to 8 PM, or around sunset' is not entirely accurate as it does not consider variations in sunset times due to geographical location and time of year. Astronomers define evening twilight as the time period when the Sun is 18° below the horizon. Since the actual time of sunset varies, defining 'evening' within a strict time range does not account for these changes. Additionally, cultural or social definitions of 'evening' can differ from the astronomical definition.
