Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:20 on 17 November; the latest is 19:13 on 11 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 06:23 on 29 May to 07:09 on 26 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Maracaibo different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:48, a full 48 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

At 10.6°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 21 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes shorter than today's 24-minute median.

Summer and winter days differ by 1h 14m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Venezuela we track.

Between solstices the sunset walks 48° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Across August the sunset moves 14 minutes earlier, averaging about 27 seconds a day.

On 18 April and 25 August the midday sun stands at the zenith, 129 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow. The next one is today.

Sitting 2 months ago of the longest day (21 June) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 23m of daylight today, and only 8 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.

Planning a sunset photo in Maracaibo

Arrive by 18:16. Golden hour opens at 18:31 and the sun is down by 18:59, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 281° 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 19:13 and runs to 19:21, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
