Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:30 on 19 November; the latest is 18:30 on 10 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 05:32 on 1 June to 06:26 on 24 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Aden different

Light lingers for 21 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes shorter than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 12.8°N buys you.

Summer and winter days differ by 1h 30m here, less seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Yemen we track.

Over a year the sunset point slides 48° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Sunset drifts 32 seconds earlier each day this month — 16 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 24 April and 19 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the shortest day is 21 December, in 2 months, and sunset moves a mere 8 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Aden

Arrive by 17:00. Golden hour opens at 17:15 and the sun is down by 17:44, 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 17:57 and runs to 18:05, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Aden — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
