Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:39 on 14 November; the latest is 18:22 on 15 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 05:43 on 26 May to 06:20 on 31 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Ngerulmud different

From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 7.5°N accounts for the 3-minute difference.

Between solstices the sunset walks 47° 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 12 minutes earlier, averaging about 24 seconds a day.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 9 April and 4 September, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

Sunset lands at close to the same time all year — the annual spread in day length is only 52 minutes, compared with about 8.8 hours at London's latitude.

Sitting in 2 months of the shortest day (21 December) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 11h 59m of daylight today, and only 6 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.

Planning a sunset photo in Ngerulmud

Arrive by 17:05. Golden hour opens at 17:20 and the sun is down by 17:48, 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 18:01 and runs to 18:09, the end of civil twilight and 20m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
