Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:56 on 10 December; the latest is 19:20 on 27 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 03:50 on 15 June to 07:08 on 3 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Jilin different

Sitting on the eastern side of its time zone puts solar noon at 11:25, a full 35 minutes before twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

Light lingers for 29 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 5 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 43.8°N buys you.

Photographers get 56 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.4× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 6h 33m here — among the widest of the 677 cities tracked in China.

Between solstices the sunset walks 67° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Sunset drifts 110 seconds earlier each day this month — 53 minutes from the first of September to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Jilin

Arrive by 16:31. Golden hour opens at 16:46 and the sun is down by 17:24, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

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 17:42 and runs to 17:53, the end of civil twilight and 28m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
