Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:18 on 4 December; the latest is 19:34 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 05:16 on 12 June to 07:25 on 9 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Xinyang different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:25, a full 26 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

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 32.1° stretches this evening's golden hour to 48 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.

Between solstices the sunset walks 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.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 31 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 63 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Xinyang

Arrive by 18:08. Golden hour opens at 18:23 and the sun is down by 18:55, 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 19:11 and runs to 19:21, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
