The answer would depend on who is flying the flag, and which flag.
In US Military tradition, the American flag is raised at 8 AM (or, the beginning of normal working hours, when different) and is lowered at sunset.
There are MANY exceptions. For example, the flag may be flown 24 hours per day if it is illuminated.
