Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:33 on 12 December; the latest is 20:48 on 25 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 04:25 on 17 June to 07:33 on 1 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 15m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Kharkiv different

On standard time the sun peaks at 11:37, 23 minutes before clock noon, because the city sits near the eastern edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 12:37.

Light lingers for 34 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 10 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 50°N buys you.

The shallow approach angle at 50° stretches this evening's golden hour to 65 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.

Between solstices the sunset walks 76° 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 WNW.

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

On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 16:24 instead of 17:26. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

Planning a sunset photo in Kharkiv

Arrive by 18:35. Golden hour opens at 18:50 and the sun is down by 19:33, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 288° 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 19:54 and runs to 20:08, the end of civil twilight and 34m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
