Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:53 on 3 December; the latest is 20:02 on 1 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:52 on 11 June to 07:54 on 10 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Nanchong different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:47, a full 47 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Evening golden hour runs 47 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 30.8° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Between solstices the sunset walks 55° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Sunset drifts 76 seconds earlier each day this month — 37 minutes from the first of September to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Nanchong

Arrive by 18:00. Golden hour opens at 18:15 and the sun is down by 18:47, 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 19:02 and runs to 19:11, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
