They are very close in meaning and can both be used to refer to the same time of night, but, sunset is when the sun comes down below the horizon and the sky gets dark. Sundown refers to the period of time when the sun has already set. So, in other words sundown is when it's already dark outside and sunset is when it's turning dark. Hope that helps!
