Longest and shortest day in Luoyang
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 14h 28m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 9h 49m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 39m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:19 on 5 December; the latest is 19:47 on 29 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:16 on 13 June to 07:38 on 7 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Luoyang different
It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
The shallow approach angle at 34.7° stretches this evening's golden hour to 49 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 58° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 37 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 74 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Luoyang
Arrive by 17:13. Golden hour opens at 17:28 and the sun is down by 18:02, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 262° 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 18:18 and runs to 18:27, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
