Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:53 on 27 May; the latest is 18:35 on 28 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:36 on 16 November to 06:23 on 14 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Luanda different

From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 8.8°S accounts for the 3-minute difference.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 47° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

On 26 February and 16 October the midday sun stands at the zenith, 232 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow. The next one is in 20 days.

Sitting in 3 months of the longest day (21 December) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 8m of daylight today, and only 1 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.

Planning a sunset photo in Luanda

Arrive by 17:20. Golden hour opens at 17:35 and the sun is down by 18:02, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 268° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:15 and runs to 18:23, the end of civil twilight and 20m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
