Part sun is the opposite: Shade 3-4 hours in morning/sun 7+ in afternoon.

*These are estimates - plus or minus a few hours. There are no set rules in
the amount of hours. It usually means that the plant will do better with
these conditions. Take an example of geraniums. Here in the south, I find
they look very lush and vibrant if they have part shade (early morning sun
and afternoon shade). The afternoon sun is much more intense and tends to
burn plant leaves.

I would say full sun is at least 7+ hours of afternoon sun.

Hope this clears things up a bit.
