A lot of people may know the term “twilight” because of the book and the movie that became very popular. This time, you would need to know what twilight actually stands for. This is known to be the period between dusk and sunset.

There are various types of twilight that are known right now such as civil, astronomical, and nautical. Dusk, on the other hand, is known to be the point in time wherein the sun will be at a certain angle below the horizon. When you look up in the sky, you will notice that there is already no sunlight that is available in the sky.
