Our Mission
Sunset Sunrise Today (sunsetsunrisetoday.com) delivers fast, clear, and precise solar times worldwide. Look up sunrise today, sunset today, day length, solar noon, golden hour, blue hour, dawn & dusk, solstices & equinoxes, and full twilight windows for any location — without complicated astronomy software. Start from our Sun Calculator hub or jump straight into a city page.
Whether you are planning a Dhaka sunrise shoot, checking London sunset for travel, or comparing day length across cities, our goal is to make global solar data simple and trustworthy.
What We Provide
Daily Solar Times
Sunrise, sunset, solar noon, and day/night length for countries and major cities.
Photography Windows
Golden hour and blue hour calculators with practical timing guidance for camera work.
Twilight Phases
Civil, nautical, and astronomical twilight based on standard solar depression angles.
Live Location Tools
Search any place or detect your GPS location to view local solar times instantly.
Astronomical Methodology
Our calculations use NOAA solar position formulas and the algorithms in Jean Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms. We compute solar declination, the equation of time, atmospheric refraction, and the zenith angle of the Sun’s upper limb. Each city page uses that city’s latitude, longitude, and IANA timezone. The number you see is produced for that place — it is not copied from another sunrise website.
What this means in practice
- Sunrise and sunset use the standard 90.833° solar zenith definition (including refraction).
- Solar noon marks the Sun’s highest altitude for the day at your longitude.
- Golden hour and blue hour windows follow common photography solar-altitude ranges.
- Times are shown in each location’s local civil timezone.
Accuracy Notes
Calculated times are highly precise for open horizons. Real-world visibility can still differ slightly because of terrain, mountains, buildings, weather, and local atmospheric conditions. Use our data as a reliable planning baseline, then adjust for your exact viewing spot.
Who We Serve
- Landscape and travel photographers planning golden hour and blue hour shoots
- Travelers checking sunrise today / sunset today before trips
- Students and educators exploring solar geometry and twilight science
- Anyone who wants clear daily sun times by country or city
Who Runs This Site
Sunset Sunrise Today is an independent reference site. It is not a government observatory, a weather service, or an affiliate of NOAA. Pages are generated from our own solar engine, city coordinates, and written guides. If a time, place name, or viewpoint is wrong, send the correction through the contact form and we will check the coordinates and timezone.
