Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:26 on 4 December; the latest is 19:41 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 05:24 on 12 June to 07:33 on 9 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Xiangyang different

On standard time the sun peaks at 12:33, 33 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.

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.

Photographers get 48 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Between solstices the sunset walks 56° 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.

Across August the sunset moves 31 minutes earlier, averaging about 63 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Xiangyang

Arrive by 18:15. Golden hour opens at 18:30 and the sun is down by 19:03, 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 19:18 and runs to 19:28, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
