Answer
Menarche comes earlier in a woman's life. Menarche refers to the first menstrual period, which typically occurs between ages 10-15, marking the beginning of reproductive capability. Menopause, on the other hand, occurs much later, usually between ages 45-55, and signifies the end of menstrual cycles and reproductive years. The average gap between menarche and menopause is about 35-40 years, during which a woman experiences regular menstrual cycles (unless interrupted by pregnancy, breastfeeding, or medical conditions).
