Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:35 on 1 December; the latest is 19:27 on 2 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:35 on 10 June to 07:20 on 12 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Hengyang different

Clock noon and solar noon are 31 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:31 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Evening golden hour runs 46 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 26.9° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 53° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 26 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 53 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Hengyang

Arrive by 18:10. Golden hour opens at 18:25 and the sun is down by 18:56, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 282° 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 19:11 and runs to 19:20, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
