FAQ

How accurate are these times?

Times are estimated using astronomical algorithms and are generally accurate within a few minutes.

What is twilight?

Civil twilight is when the sun is 0-6° below horizon (still light enough to work). Nautical and astronomical twilight are progressively darker.

Why do times vary by location?

Sunrise and sunset depend on your latitude. Near the equator, day length is consistent; at higher latitudes, it varies dramatically by season.
