Yes. See, the times of day are as is: Morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night. Night is the latter of the two. But to most people, they mean the same thing.

Well if you look at the two definitions you will see the difference.
night [ nīt ]
noun (plural nights)
Definition:
1. daily period of darkness: the period of darkness occurring each day in most parts of the world, or the entire period between sunset and sunrise
2. time between bedtime and waking: the time between somebody's going to sleep in the evening and waking the next morning
3. period of evening activities: the period between sunset and bedtime, especially when spent in entertainment or some other activity
We had a great night at her birthday party.
4. evening devoted to special activity: any period after sunset devoted to a special activity, function, or observance
Tomorrow night is Family Night at the ballpark.
5. nightfall: the period of time just after the sun goes down, when it gets dark
6. period of cultural or emotional gloominess: a period marked by grief, gloom, ignorance, or obscurity
Europe slipped into the long night of the Dark Ages.
7. dark or darkened state: a dark or darkened state, or an absence of light, consciousness, or enlightenment ( literary )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
eve·ning [ ï¼vning ]
noun (plural eve·nings)
Definition:
1. late part of day: the part of the day between afternoon and night, as daylight begins to fade
2. time before bedtime: the part of the day between sunset or the last main meal of the day and bedtime
We went out for the evening.
3. activity held during evening: a social gathering, meeting, or entertainment held in the evening
Thank you for an enjoyable evening.
4. period at end: the final part of a period of time, e.g. somebody's life or a historical era ( literary )
the evening of the British Empire
5. Southern U.S. afternoon: the afternoon, especially middle to late afternoon
But like most people the definition of the word may not be how it is used. Some people may say night and mean evening and some people may say evening and really mean the night. So I guess it does not matter unless you are speaking to someone who takes your words literally. Then you would have to use the correct word or just give a time in numbers instead of a general time.

They are slightly different. The main difference is that night refers to when it is actually dark, as in daytime ot nighttime. Evening usually refers to the point just before darkness or late afternoon. Time wise, for me, 6 p.m. would be evening and 8 or 9 would be night.

Evening is roughly more of 5 to 7pm while night is 7pm to 10pm...

Yeah, both can be correct. You just need to choose which works best for saying what you want to say.
