What is Sunset Time Calculator?

▾

A sunset calculator computes the exact time of sunset and civil twilight for any location and date using solar position algorithms.

Calkulon makes complex calculations simple — built for students and everyday problem-solvers.

How to Sunset Time Calculator

▾

1Based on solar declination, hour angle, and observer latitude/longitude
2Civil twilight ends when sun is 6° below horizon
3Nautical twilight: 12°; Astronomical twilight: 18°
4Equation of Time accounts for Earth's elliptical orbit

Worked Examples

▾

Example 1

Given:London (51.5°N), 21 December 2025

תוצאה:Sunset ≈ 15:58 GMT; Civil twilight ends ≈ 16:32 GMT

Frequently Asked Questions

▾

Why does sunset time change throughout the year?

Earth's axial tilt. Summer: sun higher arc, sets later. Winter: sun lower arc, sets earlier.

Is sunset time the same everywhere?

No. Latitude determines sun angle. Longitude determines time zone. Terrain (hills, mountains) can block sun.

What's the difference between sunset and twilight?

Sunset: sun touches horizon. Civil twilight: 6° below horizon (still light). Nautical: 12° below (navigational).
