Longest and shortest day in Dhanbad
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 13h 36m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 39m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 56m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 4:56 pm on 29 November; the latest is 6:35 pm on 3 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 4:56 am on 8 June to 6:28 am on 14 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Dhanbad different
It takes roughly 23 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Between solstices the sunset walks 52° 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 24 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 48 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Dhanbad
Arrive by 5:22 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:37 pm and the sun is down by 6:08 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 282° 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 6:22 pm and runs to 6:31 pm, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
