The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:46 on 2 June; the latest is 18:50 on 20 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 05:30 on 23 November to 06:39 on 8 July.

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

What makes sunsets in Brasília different

It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Over a year the sunset point slides 49° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

On 6 February and 5 November the midday sun stands at the zenith, 272 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow. The next one is in 6 weeks.

At 1,136 m the horizon sits 1.17° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 4.9 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 9.7 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Sitting in 3 months of the longest day (21 December) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 10m of daylight today, and only 2 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.

Planning a sunset photo in Brasília

Arrive by 17:24. Golden hour opens at 17:39 and the sun is down by 18:08, 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 18:21 and runs to 18:29, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
