Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:53 on 4 December; the latest is 19:06 on 30 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

Planning a sunset photo in Changshu

Face west — the sun goes down at 269° 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 18:04 and runs to 18:13, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
