Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:56 on 14 December; the latest is 21:18 on 24 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 03:44 on 18 June to 08:59 on 29 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 18m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Moscow different

Clock noon and solar noon are 32 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:31 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

At 55.8°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 40 minutes to arrive: 16 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

Photographers get 75 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.8× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it SW, June swings it 90° round to NW. Tonight, WNW.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 70 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 2 minutes a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Moscow

Arrive by 18:36. Golden hour opens at 18:51 and the sun is down by 19:41, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 290° 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 20:06 and runs to 20:22, the end of civil twilight and 40m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Moscow — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
