A: Dusk is when the sun goes down, when the sun goes down, the light on the ground becomes less and less, so when the dusk gains ground, it means you see less light on the ground and it gets darker...basically it's just a metaphorical way to say "it's getting dark"..to gain ground in other contexts just means "to become popular/accepted"

That is my understanding of the words.

A: The evening TWILIGHT begins when the sun dips below the horizon (SUNSET) and ends when it reaches 18° below the horizon signalling the beginning of night (NIGHTFALL). Twilight is split into three stages. The third stage is the darkest called DUSK.

CREPUSCULE is a less used variant of twilight. (I don’t think I’ve heard of this term)

HALF-LIGhT occurs when a room is half as bright or grey dim light and supposedly during some point in the twilight zone likely at dawn and dusk.

A: 'dusk' and 'sundown' are the same. 'nightfall' might come a little later when it is darker.

A: Twilight is when the sun is below the horizon, but you can still see the light from it. A picture shows it best: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Baker_beach_at_twilight_41.jpg

Dusk is the darkest part of twilight right before it really becomes night and is the last bit of light left. th00.deviantart.net/images/PRE/i/2003/6/a/a/Dusk_-_City_Silhouette.jpg

Honestly people use them both to mean that time of day right after the sun has just set.

"twilight is the period of time before sunrise and after sunset, in which the atmosphere is partially illuminated by the sun, being neither totally dark or completely lit"

De acuerdo con esta definición, el orden cronológico sería:

1. twilight

2. sunrise/dawn

3. sunset/dusk

4. twilight

Con respecto a tu pregunta @HanyuuFurude, yo recomendaría que digas (en una conversación hablada) "sunrise" o "sunset" ya que la palabra "twilight" no es tan común y así se puede provocar un malentendido. Por otra parte, si estás escribiendo algo de un alto nivel de inglés (esta palabra está clasificada como nivel C1*), entonces podrías usarla para sonar poético y descriptivo. Por ejemplo "A tear kissed the surface of my jagged skin as I somberly watched the faded outline of the love of my life drift off into the mesmerizing twilight" 'pinta una imagen mental' mucho mejor que "I cried as I saw him/her leave"

Oh y recomiendo "sunrise/sunset" porque "dusk/dawn" se usan menos frecuente (las dos suenan un poco poéticas)

¡Espero que todo esto te ayude!
