"Evening" usually refers to the early part of the night, from about dusk. You can say "Good evening" as you say "hello," but "good night" carries the meaning of "goodbye."
I hope this explanation helps.
Evening is the time that begins in the the late afternoon (about time for dinner) and ends about bedtime (or party time!).
Night is generally the time you sleep, or should sleep.
Realmente no.
Evening refiere al principio de la tarde, y el anochecer.
La parte despues es "the night", hasta el amanecer.

In English languages have an upper case letter at the beginning, I am afraid it is confusing as a lot of natives seem to get that wrong. .

When you greet someone between about 5pm and bedtime you can say hello, good evening or, informally, evening.
Goodnight is only used when leaving or when going to bed.
I hope that helps.
The translation is not straightforward, because English and Spanish use different criteria to divide the day and our customs are different. Unlike in English, "tarde" can last until 9 PM as long as there is sun light left, and it can finish at 3 PM if the sun sets. Our criterion is more based on the amount of sun light left, which is something that changes throughout the year. But in any case, the exact meaning is not even the same for all speaker in either language.
Typically people use Good Evening as a welcome, for example arriving at a restaurant the host might say "good evening".
Good night is usually in context of saying good bye or leaving. When leaving the same restaurant you might say to the host "Good night".
Also when closing a conversation on the phone before bedtime, people will say good night. Again it's a form of goodbye.
Generally this is how we use these words.
6am to 12am (noon) = "good morning" = hello
12am to 6pm = "good afternoon" = hello
6pm to 12pm (midnight) = "good evening" = hello
12pm to 6 am = "good night" = Goodbye / chau (nearly always)
It varies a little depending where you are in the world though.
It is more that in Spanish "tarde" = afternoon + evening but changes to "noche" when it gets dark.
Evening is almost universally recognised as beginning at 5 p.m. and ending at midnight.
Night is a little more tricky, but is usually when it's dark outside.

But....if you are Jamaican, good night means hello just as Good Evening does.
Personally (and within my circle of friends & family) if it's still light outside, prior to dusk (anochecer) and after 12 o'clock noon, you simply use "Buenas Tardes" as a greeting (never heard it as a farewell salutation)... once the sun sets, with dusk setting in, we would switch over to "Buenas Noches" - both as an initial greeting and the traditional bedtime send-off... perhaps others are not so familiar with the latter serving as a greeting, but here in SW USA / Northern México, it is very common and has never raised any eyebrows....
Espero que esta información le ayuda.
