Good night vs have a good evening

Both "good night" and "have a good evening" are correct phrases, but they are used in different contexts. "Good night" is commonly used as a farewell when someone is going to bed or leaving for the night. On the other hand, "have a good evening" is used earlier in the evening to wish someone well for the rest of the night.
