Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:14 on 31 May; the latest is 18:07 on 23 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:56 on 20 November to 05:57 on 10 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Salvador different

Sitting on the eastern side of its time zone puts solar noon at 11:20, a full 39 minutes before twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

At 13°S the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 21 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes shorter than today's 24-minute median.

Between solstices the sunset walks 48° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 14 February and 28 October — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is in 18 days.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the longest day is 21 December, in 2 months, and sunset moves a mere 2 minutes later in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Salvador

Arrive by 16:47. Golden hour opens at 17:02 and the sun is down by 17:30, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 17:43 and runs to 17:52, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
