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.

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 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 1 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Makassar

Arrive by 17:12. Golden hour opens at 17:27 and the sun is down by 17:55, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 18:07 and runs to 18:16, the end of civil twilight and 20m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
