Should I say "The sky looks as evening" or "The sky looks like evening" ?
What is the difference between "as" and "like" ?
Thanks.

No real difference - neither is appropriate.

Hello.

I do understand the message those sentences convey.
How would you describe it?
Could it be something like :
'Look at the sky. It is showing(shows?) it is evening.'
Not quite?

Yes, it is like the context you gave. I think "as" and "like" have different function although they seem to be the same.

Look at the sky. It looks like it does in the evening.
Look at the sky. It looks like evening.
Look at the sky. It looks like an evening sky.
The sky looks like it does in the evening.
