Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 4:58 pm on 30 November; the latest is 6:44 pm on 2 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 4:57 am on 9 June to 6:37 am on 13 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Patna different

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.

It takes roughly 23 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

The shallow approach angle at 25.6° stretches this evening's golden hour to 45 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator 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 W.

Across October the sunset moves 28 minutes earlier, averaging about 55 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Patna

Arrive by 4:41 pm. Golden hour opens at 4:56 pm and the sun is down by 5:27 pm, 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 5:41 pm and runs to 5:50 pm, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
