"dans" not used when saying "in the morning" but is used when saying "in the afternoon"..

correct answers in weekend challenge:

qui devrait nous livrer les fleurs dans l'apres-midi

tu prendras ta voiture le matin

these seem to me to be the same sentence structure. Why is dans not used consistently? what about in the evening or night?

anyone able to help me understand?
