Sunrise/Sunset Calculations

Then the UTC time of sunrise (or sunset) in minutes is: sunrise = 720 – 4*(longitude + ha) – eqtime where longitude and hour angle are in degrees and the equation of time is in minutes.

The following factors are helpful in helping you predict if a sunset will be beautiful or not. The air should be clean with relatively low humidity, and the best sunsets typically happen when you have mid and high-level clouds covering around 25% to 60% of the evening sky.

Actual sunset: Two minutes before the Sun disappears below the horizon. The time of actual sunset is defined in astronomy as two minutes before the upper limb of the Sun disappears below the horizon.

Corfidi says peak sunset season for the middle latitudes (think the Northeastern United States) is November through February, and it has to do with the confluence of a few meteorological factors.

Sunset: The best time to get that color is roughly 15-20 minutes AFTER the sun has gone below the horizon!

Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 2:00 A.M. On Saturday night, clocks are set back 1 hour (i.e., gaining one hour) to “fall back.” Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour earlier on November 3, 2024, than the day before.

What is the golden hour? ›

The last hour before sunset and the first hour after sunrise are coveted by professional photographers. Referred to as “the golden hour” or “magic hour,” these times provide the perfect light to capture stunning photos. Learning to harness the power of the golden hour is a tool every photographer can use.

Dates are based on the Gregorian calendar. The December solstice (winter solstice) in Portland is at 1:20 am on Saturday, December 21, 2024. In terms of daylight, this day is 6 hours, 59 minutes shorter than the June solstice. In most locations north of the equator, the shortest day of the year is around this date.

We know that the everyday sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So, it is not something that changes over time. No matter where you are on this earth, the sun rises and sunsets. And we know that the probability of a sure event is 1.

On the equinox, the very center of the sun rises above the horizon in the morning and sinks below the horizon in the evening exactly 12 hours apart.

It is because of atmospheric refraction. When the Sun is slightly below the horizon, the light coming from it travels from less dense to more dense air and is refracted downwards. Thus, the Sun appears to be raised and can be seen 2 min before actual sunrise and 2 min after actual sunset.

Sunsets are as unpredictable as the weather. Some days, the sun sets without even the smallest hint of color, while on other days an orange hue covers the western horizon. On rare occasions, the sky is ablaze with red and pink colors reflecting off of the clouds.

Hands down, one hour before sunset is ideal. I would even stretch it to 45 minutes before sunset, too. Thing is, after the sun sets, there's still light in the sky and it's actually quite nice! You may have heard photographers reference "golden hour" before.

Every photographer will tell you that the best time of day to do photos is starting/ending within 1-2 hours of sunset or sunrise. Of course, this is based on the assumption the sun is visible.

Most people can usually tell quite quickly whether the colors of the sky signify morning or evening based on where the sun is or whether it's appearing or disappearing.
