Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:20 pm on 4 December; the latest is 7:42 pm on 29 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 5:18 am on 12 June to 7:33 am on 7 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Phoenix different

It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Evening golden hour runs 48 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 33.4° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 57° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Across October the sunset moves 36 minutes earlier, averaging about 71 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Phoenix

Arrive by 5:13 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:28 pm and the sun is down by 6:02 pm, 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 6:17 pm and runs to 6:26 pm, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
