How to use Sunrise and Sunset Calculator
Choose a city or use your location, then a date. Civil, nautical and astronomical twilight, the photographers’ golden and blue hours, the sun’s direction at sunrise and sunset and the change in day length are shown; the table covers the whole month.
How it works
Sunrise and sunset are when the sun’s centre is 0.833° below the horizon (refraction and the sun’s radius). Golden hour: sun between +6° and −4°; blue hour: −4° to −6°. Times match the JPL-based astronomy-engine library within 0.1 minute.
Example
In Paris on 11 October 2026 the sun rises at 08:05 and sets at 19:09 (11 h 04 min of daylight); the evening golden hour runs from 18:26 to 19:29.
