How much golden light each month gives you

Total evening golden-hour minutes available in each month. December is the strongest, at about 44 hours across the month; the year ranges by 24%.

What the numbers mean for Voronezh

Through October the evening window averages about 68 minutes a day here.

December is the most generous month at roughly 86 minutes an evening, and March the tightest at about 65 minutes — a difference of 1.3×. That gap is geometry, not weather: the shallower the sun meets the horizon, the longer it spends crossing the golden band.

A month from now the evening window will be about 8 minutes longer than tonight, and it will start at 15:50.

The light comes from west tonight, at 260° on the compass. Check that against your viewpoint before committing to it — the bearing moves through the year, as the table above shows.

What counts as golden hour

Golden hour is defined here by the sun’s altitude, not by a fixed number of minutes. It runs while the sun sits between +6° and −4° relative to the horizon: high enough to still light the scene, low enough that the light has travelled through a long path of atmosphere and lost its blue.

Below −4° the direct light is gone and blue hour takes over, running to −6° where civil twilight ends. Because the definition is angular, the length of golden hour depends on how steeply the sun meets the horizon — which is a function of latitude and season, not of the clock. That is why it lasts 1h 6m here today and about 40 minutes at the equator.

Full definitions of every term used here — golden hour, blue hour, altitude, azimuth — are in the glossary.
