The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:09 on 6 December; the latest is 19:42 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 05:06 on 13 June to 07:32 on 7 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Ulsan different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:24, a full 25 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

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.

The shallow approach angle at 35.5° stretches this evening's golden hour to 50 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.

Across August the sunset moves 35 minutes earlier, averaging about 70 seconds a day.

Of the 59 South Korea cities tracked here, this one sees the earliest sunset today — 13 minutes apart from Gimpo-si at the other end of the country.

Planning a sunset photo in Ulsan

Arrive by 18:09. Golden hour opens at 18:24 and the sun is down by 18:58, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 283° 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 19:14 and runs to 19:25, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
