About Houston Sun Times
Houston's flat terrain and southern latitude provide consistent sunrise and sunset times. The city's bayous and Ship Channel offer unique water-reflected sunrise views.
Best Times for Photography
Golden Hour: The hour before sunset (11:16 PM - 12:16 AM) provides the warmest, most flattering light for photography. This is when the light has a golden quality that's perfect for portraits and landscapes.
Blue Hour: 20-30 minutes after sunset when the sky turns deep blue but artificial lights are visible. Perfect for cityscape photography with balanced exposure.
Seasonal Variations
Houston sun times vary throughout the year. Summer brings earlier sunrises and later sunsets, while winter has later sunrises and earlier sunsets. The exact times depend on your latitude and local terrain.
