Twilight is the time before sunrise or after sunset when sunlight scattered in the upper atmosphere illuminates the lower atmosphere and the surface of the earth.

sunrise = early morning (as the sun comes up)
twilight = sunset or early evening (as the sun goes down)

Twilight is the time when the sun has gone down and the world is still lit.
Sunrise is when the sun comes up.
