Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:59 on 11 December; the latest is 20:55 on 26 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 04:52 on 16 June to 08:42 on 1 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 14m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Ulan Bator different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:39, a full 40 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

At 47.9°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 31 minutes to arrive: 7 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

The shallow approach angle at 47.9° stretches this evening's golden hour to 61 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Over a year the sunset point slides 73° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is W.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 56 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 112 seconds a day.

At 1,284 m the horizon sits 1.24° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 7.5 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 14.9 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Planning a sunset photo in Ulan Bator

Arrive by 17:17. Golden hour opens at 17:32 and the sun is down by 18:14, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 261° 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 18:33 and runs to 18:45, the end of civil twilight and 31m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
