Frequently Asked Questions
Why do sunrise and sunset times change every day?
Sunrise and sunset times change because Earth is tilted on its axis and orbits the Sun throughout the year. As the seasons change, the Sun appears higher or lower in the sky, and the length of daylight becomes longer or shorter depending on your location.
What is solar noon?
Solar noon is the time when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky for a specific location on that day. It is not always exactly 12:00 PM on the clock because it depends on longitude, time zone, daylight saving time, and the equation of time.
Why is day length different by location?
Day length depends on your latitude and the time of year. Locations closer to the poles can have very long days in summer and very short days in winter, while locations near the equator usually have more consistent daylight throughout the year.
How are sunrise and sunset times calculated for my location?
Our website estimates your location or uses the location you select, then calculates sunrise, sunset, solar noon, and day length using the local date, time zone, and the Sun’s apparent position in the sky.
Why might the actual sunrise or sunset look slightly different?
The calculated times are based on standard astronomical methods, but what you actually see can be affected by weather, atmospheric refraction, elevation, mountains, buildings, trees, and your local horizon.
