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

At 55.8°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 37 minutes to arrive: 13 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

Photographers get 73 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.8× the 40 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, W.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 73 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 2 minutes a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Moscow

Arrive by 16:36. Golden hour opens at 16:51 and the sun is down by 17:42, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 259° 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 18:04 and runs to 18:19, the end of civil twilight and 36m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
