Frequently Asked Questions
What defines official sunset?
Official sunset occurs when the upper trailing edge of the solar disk disappears completely below the sea-level horizon (zenith angle 90.833°).
Is sunset the same as dusk?
No, dusk occurs after sunset at the end of civil twilight, when the sun reaches 6 degrees below the horizon and artificial lights are needed.
Why does sunset time change every day?
Earth’s 23.4-degree axial tilt and elliptical orbit around the Sun cause solar declination and sunset times to shift continuously throughout the year.
