Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:51 on 3 December; the latest is 19:02 on 30 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 04:50 on 12 June to 06:54 on 9 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Minhang different

Sunset here is followed by about 25 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

The shallow approach angle at 31.1° stretches this evening's golden hour to 48 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.

Between solstices the sunset walks 55° 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 WNW.

Sunset drifts 61 seconds earlier each day this month — 30 minutes from the first of August to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Minhang

Arrive by 17:38. Golden hour opens at 17:53 and the sun is down by 18:25, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 283° 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 18:40 and runs to 18:50, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
