What time does the shop close?

What time is the shop closed?

Is there any difference between these two sentences?

Are they correct?

Thanks

Both are used, with the same meaning.

To me, the second one has more of a meaning of  "between which hours, or on which days,  is the shop not open for business?"

Hume said that if we had perfect or complete descriptive knowledge of reality, we could not, by reasoning, derive a single valid "ought".
