I don't know much about stocks. Why is after hours different?

  The volume for after-hours trading is significantly lower as there are fewer exchanges open. 4PM ET is deemed the traditional end of the day for trading.

    Also, most people can't trade after hours. So this price is artificial, in the sense that a lot of holders of Google stock wouldn't be able to sell at this 6% increased price.
