Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:56 on 6 December; the latest is 19:32 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 04:53 on 13 June to 07:23 on 7 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Tai’an different

At 36.2°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 51 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 36.2° 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 59° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 36 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 72 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Tai’an

Arrive by 17:58. Golden hour opens at 18:13 and the sun is down by 18:48, 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 19:04 and runs to 19:14, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
