Sunrise & Sunset Calculator

Look up sunrise, sunset, twilight phases, solar noon, and day length for any city and date. All calculations run in your browser using the NOAA solar position algorithm.

Twilight phases

Dawn is before sunrise; dusk is after sunset. Each phase ends when the sun reaches the listed angle below the horizon.

About sunrise and sunset

Sunrise is the moment the upper edge of the sun crosses the horizon in the morning; sunset is when the upper edge disappears at night. Both are computed at the standard refraction-corrected altitude of −0.833°.

Solar noon is the instant the sun reaches its highest point in the sky for the day — it depends on your longitude, not your clock, so it rarely lands on 12:00.

Twilight comes in three flavors. Civil twilight (sun 0°–6° below horizon) is bright enough for most outdoor activity. Nautical twilight (6°–12°) lets navigators still see the horizon against stars. Astronomical twilight (12°–18°) is the last trace of scattered sunlight before true night.

At extreme latitudes near the summer or winter solstice the sun may not rise or set at all — those cells show a dash.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are these times?
Within about a minute of official NOAA values for latitudes between 72°N and 72°S. Accuracy decreases near the poles.
Does it account for daylight saving time?
Yes — times are formatted in the IANA time zone you pick, which follows local DST rules automatically.
Why is solar noon not at 12:00?
Clocks are set to a time zone that covers a wide band of longitudes, and the equation of time nudges the sun ahead of or behind the mean day by up to ~16 minutes across the year.
Can I use my own coordinates?
Yes — type any latitude/longitude, or tap “Use my location” to fill them in from your device.
