Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:50 on 6 December; the latest is 19:24 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 04:47 on 13 June to 07:14 on 7 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Tehran different

Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Photographers get 50 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

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.

Across August the sunset moves 35 minutes earlier, averaging about 71 seconds a day.

Standing 1,178 m up buys you 6 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 1.19° here.

Planning a sunset photo in Tehran

Arrive by 17:52. Golden hour opens at 18:07 and the sun is down by 18:41, 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 18:57 and runs to 19:08, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
