Sunrise and Sunset Times Worldwide

Sunrise and sunset times mark when the sun appears and disappears on the horizon each day. These times change throughout the year based on your location's latitude and the Earth's tilt, with longer days in summer and shorter days in winter. People rely on this information for photography planning, scheduling outdoor runs and hikes, coordinating events, and understanding daylight patterns in their area.

Golden hour refers to the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset when the sun is low in the sky, creating warm, soft lighting ideal for photography. Civil twilight occurs when there's enough natural light for most activities, while nautical twilight provides dimmer light for navigation. Astronomical twilight marks the transition between night and day, important for stargazing and astronomical observations.
