Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:16 on 6 December; the latest is 18:53 on 29 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:13 on 13 June to 06:43 on 6 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Mashhad different

Sitting on the eastern side of its time zone puts solar noon at 11:33, a full 26 minutes before twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

At 36.3°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 27 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

The shallow approach angle at 36.3° stretches this evening's golden hour to 51 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.

Over a year the sunset point slides 59° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.

Sunset drifts 72 seconds earlier each day this month — 36 minutes from the first of August to the last.

At 980 m the horizon sits 1.08° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 5.5 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 11.1 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Planning a sunset photo in Mashhad

Arrive by 17:20. Golden hour opens at 17:35 and the sun is down by 18:09, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 284° 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 18:25 and runs to 18:36, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
