Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:16 on 8 December; the latest is 20:12 on 28 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 05:12 on 14 June to 08:01 on 5 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Ordos different

On standard time the sun peaks at 12:27, 28 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.

At 39.6°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 27 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

Evening golden hour runs 53 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 39.6° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Between solstices the sunset walks 62° 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.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 43 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 87 seconds a day.

Standing 2,149 m up buys you 8.4 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 1.6° here.

Planning a sunset photo in Ordos

Arrive by 17:18. Golden hour opens at 17:33 and the sun is down by 18:09, 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 18:26 and runs to 18:36, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
