What Time Is Sunset Today?
If you're wondering what time the sun sets today, the exact sunset time depends on your location and the date. Sunset happens at a different time each day because of the Earth's tilt and orbit around the sun.
Using your location, today's sunset time can be calculated down to the minute — along with related events like golden hour, dusk, and total daylight length.

Why Does Sunset Time Change Every Day?
Sunset times change throughout the year because the Earth is tilted about 23.5 degrees on its axis.
As the Earth orbits the sun:
- Days get longer in spring and summer
- Days get shorter in fall and winter
- The earliest and latest sunsets don't occur exactly on solstices
This is why sunset may appear to get later or earlier even when daylight length changes slowly.
Sunset vs Golden Hour: What's the Difference?
Sunset marks the moment the sun disappears below the horizon.
Golden hour refers to the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset when sunlight appears warmer and softer.
Golden hour is popular for:
- Photography
- Outdoor activities
- Evening planning
If you're planning photos or events, golden hour may matter more than the sunset time itself.
