Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:30 on 11 December; the latest is 20:21 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 04:24 on 16 June to 08:07 on 1 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 13m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Rostov-on-Don different

At 47.2°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.

Photographers get 60 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.5× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 7h 27m, one of the narrowest swings of any Russia city on the site.

Between solstices the sunset walks 72° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 55 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 110 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Rostov-on-Don

Arrive by 16:47. Golden hour opens at 17:02 and the sun is down by 17:43, 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 18:02 and runs to 18:14, the end of civil twilight and 30m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
