Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath, starts at sundown on Friday evening end ends at nightfall on Saturday evening. Note that sundown occurs when the sun sets, while nightfall is defined by the appearance of 3 fixed stars in the sky (or about an hour after sundown if you can't see the sky). Jewish calendars are frequently printed with the time of day of each of these in larger Jewish communities, and nowdays, you can find apps that use GPS to give these times wherever you are.
