Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:33 on 2 December; the latest is 19:32 on 1 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 05:32 on 11 June to 07:24 on 11 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Heshan different

Clock noon and solar noon are 33 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:32 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Evening golden hour runs 46 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 28.6° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Over a year the sunset point slides 54° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.

Sunset drifts 56 seconds earlier each day this month — 28 minutes from the first of August to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Heshan

Arrive by 18:12. Golden hour opens at 18:27 and the sun is down by 18:59, 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 19:13 and runs to 19:23, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
