NO.

The aspects of a day are assigned to the quarters of the day in the same way as the seasons of the year are broken up between the solstices and the equinoxes.

Ergo, as it is for a year:

  • winter: winter solstice to spring equinox
  • spring: spring equinox to summer solstice
  • summer: summer solstice to fall equinox
  • fall: fall equinox to winter solstice

So is it for a day:

  • night: midnight to 6am
  • morning: 6am to noon
  • afternoon: noon to 6pm
  • evening: 6pm to midnight

Where I live, in December, it's already night by 4pm, whereas in July, 4pm isn't even the peak of heat yet. But if someone said "good evening" to me at 4pm in either of them, I'd prob accept it either way, and I'm a meteorologist

Also: In the UK and the US, the typical meteorological standard is just to split seasons by month (DJF MAM JJA SON) for easy stats reasons, but other countries have entirely different standards based on climate. Different people have different definitions and it's completely fine
