Sunset and sunrise times in Bandung, Indonesia

On standard time the sun peaks at 11:36, 23 minutes before clock noon, because the city sits near the eastern edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.

At 6.9°S the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 21 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes shorter than today's 24-minute median.

Between solstices the sunset walks 47° 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.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 3 March and 11 October — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is tomorrow.

Sunset lands at close to the same time all year — the annual spread in day length is only 48 minutes, compared with about 8.8 hours at London's latitude.

Elevation matters at 714 m. The visible horizon drops 0.92°, pushing sunset 3.8 minutes later and sunrise the same amount earlier than a sea-level observer would see.

The times barely move this week: the longest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 2 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 0 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.
