Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:54 on 24 October; the latest is 18:25 on 2 February. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:36 on 11 November to 06:12 on 19 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Makassar different

At 5.1°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.

On 8 March and 7 October the midday sun stands at the zenith, 213 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow. The next one is in 6 weeks.

Sunset lands at close to the same time all year — the annual spread in day length is only 36 minutes, compared with about 8.8 hours at London's latitude.

The times barely move this week: the shortest day of the year falls on 21 June, 2 months ago, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 3 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Makassar

Arrive by 17:20. Golden hour opens at 17:35 and the sun is down by 18:03, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 280° 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 18:16 and runs to 18:24, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
