Frequently asked questions
What time is sunrise today?▼
Enable location access at the top to see today's sunrise time for your exact position. Sunrise times vary by location and shift 1-2 minutes daily. The highlights section shows where the sun rises earliest and latest on Earth today.
Where on Earth does the sun rise earliest today?▼
The earliest sunrise today is in the easternmost inhabited time zones — typically Kiribati, Samoa, New Zealand, or Russia's Kamchatka peninsula depending on the date. Solarc shows the exact city and local time in the highlights box above. The location shifts north/south through the year as Earth's tilt moves the sunrise circle.
Where on Earth does the sun rise latest today?▼
The latest sunrise today is in the westernmost inhabited time zones — Hawaii, French Polynesia, and parts of Alaska. The exact city is shown in the highlights box above. Near the summer solstice, polar regions can also have no sunrise at all (24-hour daylight) and near the winter solstice they have no sunrise (polar night).
Why does sunrise time change every day?▼
The Earth's tilt and orbit shift the sun's apparent path slightly each day. Sunrise moves earlier or later by up to a couple of minutes daily, fastest around the equinoxes and slowest around the solstices.
How accurate is today's sunrise time?▼
Times are computed with Astronomy Engine and match the NOAA Solar Calculator to within about one minute. Hills or buildings on your eastern horizon can shift the visible sunrise by a little more.
