Sunset where you are

Detecting your location…

Sunset is the moment the top edge of the sun drops below the horizon. Its timing depends on your latitude, longitude, the date, and your elevation, which is why it varies between nearby towns and shifts gradually through the year.

Solarc calculates sunset with Astronomy Engine and shows it in the local time of the location. Allow location access above to see the sunset time for exactly where you are, then open the interactive map to explore the full day.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the sunset time near me?

Allow location access when this page asks, and Solarc shows today’s sunset time for your exact position. You can also search any city or tap a point on the interactive map.

Why is sunset earlier in winter?

As your hemisphere tilts away from the sun in winter, the sun travels a shorter, lower arc across the sky, so it sets earlier and the day is shorter.

How accurate are these sunset times?

Times match the NOAA Solar Calculator to within roughly one minute. Hills or tall buildings on your western horizon can make the visible sunset a little earlier.

What is the difference between sunset and dusk?

Sunset is the single moment the sun disappears below the horizon. Dusk comes later, at the end of twilight, when the sky becomes fully dark. Solarc shows civil, nautical, and astronomical dusk on the interactive map.
